Tompkins also has government-sector experience from her time as Human Resources Director at the City of West Covina in 2002. She began her career in human resources at General Dynamics Air Defense Systems Division in Rancho Cucamonga in 1987. Tompkins has a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration and finance from California State University, San Bernardino. She completed the Human Resources Executive Program at Stanford University and has a certificate in employee benefits from the International Federation of Employee Benefits and was awarded the compliance and ethics professional certification from the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics. Tompkins served as a past board member of the Prudential Advisory Board for the Prudential Corporation and was an instructor at the University of California, Riverside Extension where she taught employee and labor relations and human resources strategy. She also was a human relations commissioner, a charitable coalition board member, and served on the public space and facility naming committee – all for the City of Redlands. Tompkins, a long-term resident of the County of San Bernardino, currently resides in Redlands. She and her husband of 26 years have two sons, both attending local colleges.
