TEMECULA – Alicia Milan was recently named the Postmaster of the Temecula Post Office.

She replaces former Temecula Postmaster Jennifer Pamplin-Jenkins, who transferred to another facility.

As Temecula Postmaster, Milan supervises a combined 145 employees at Temecula’s Main and Old Town postal facilities. She oversees retail services at both facilities and as well as the daily distribution of mail on 60 delivery routes and to more than 1,700 PO Boxes.

Milan is an eight-year postal employee who began her USPS career as a mail carrier in Escondido. Prior to joining USPS she had spent 20 years in the culinary industry, including a stint as the executive chef for the San Diego Padres.

“I’m grateful for this amazing opportunity,” said Milan. “It’s truly an honor and a privilege to step into this position. I hope to continue the Postal Service’s legacy of outstanding customer service to this community, and to contribute to the overall success of the organization.

“As outlined in USPS’s Delivering for America plan, we are modernizing and continually adapting to the changing needs of our customers. Our customers are priority one, whether they’re located in the biggest cities or communities such as Temecula.

“I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to my husband Erwin Milan for supporting my dreams. I’m also grateful to the leadership team at the USPS San Diego District office for believing in me and giving me this opportunity.”

Milan was born in Los Angeles and raised in Dallas, Texas. She is a graduate of Duncanville High School, Dallas College - El Centro and the Art Institute of Dallas, and has earned an associate’s degree in culinary management and a bachelor’s degree in business management.

Milan’s hobbies include spending time with her family and friends, rooting for the Dallas Cowboys, and mentoring students at Temecula Elementary School.

The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products, and services to fund its operations
