In addition to my work at Robert Half, I'm also the Founder & Executive Director of PacksforColdBacks 501(c)3, a Sacramento-based nonprofit that provides essential survival supplies, rehabilitation services, and housing to homeless communities in California, Arizona, and Washington. Since starting Packs for Cold Backs in 2011, I have been responsible for guiding program development, fundraising, and volunteer recruitment to further increase the impact of PFCB’s services. I am passionate about social justice, racial equity, mental health, and creating an equitable future for the communities we serve. 

I also serve as the Co-Chair of the  Racial Equity Committee at Sacramento Steps Forward. Our goal with the establishment of this committee is to uncover the scope, causes, and potential solutions of race serving as a predictor for homelessness in Sacramento. Our main focus of the Racial Equity Committee is to develop an action plan to be utilized by the CoC and Sacramento County over the next three to five years to create equitable access for the most vulnerable members of our communities. With the completion of this plan, we look forward to advising other cities and states across the nation in the creation of similar programs to address racial equity, social justice, and other diversity and inclusion initiatives.

https://www.linkedin.com/company/sacramentostepsforward
Co-Chair: Racial Equity Committee
The Racial Equity Committee has been created to uncover the scope, causes, and potential solutions of race serving as a predictor for homelessness in Sacramento. This discovery extends to the ways in which Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) experience homelessness and our local homelessness system. As knowledge is generated, it will be disbursed through interactive trainings, accessible reports, and other user-friendly mechanisms. The Committee is tasked with developing an Action Plan that has been fully informed by BIPOC with lived experience of homelessness, as well as input and recommendations from stakeholders, studies, pilots, our local gaps analysis and Coordinated Entry evaluation, and the learnings of other communities to guide the decision-making process of the CoC Board over the next 3-5 years. The ultimate vision is to create an equitable, accountable, and transparent homelessness system that catalyzes structural change both inside and outside of our current sphere of influence.

PacksforColdBacks Inc. 501(c)3
https://www.linkedin.com/company/packs-for-cold-backs
Founder & Executive Director
PacksforColdBacks was created due to my desire and passion to help the homeless community in Sacramento through backpacks filled with essential goods in 2011. As our organization has grown, I transitioned PacksforColdBacks into an 501c3 non-profit in 2016. 
PacksforColdBacks primary focus is to establish human connections with those most marginalized in our local communities, and connecting them with the tools and services they need to find happiness.  Supporting the homeless in our communities is the main objective of the organization.
In collaboration with other executive officers, I help establish events and expand PacksforColdBacks to new cities in order to increase our impact on the homeless community. Additonally, I collaborate with other local non-profit organizations to maximize our impact in the community. Furthermore, along with meeting and speaking at local city council meetings to raise awareness for PFCB, I assists the CFO in creating funding opportunities through sponsorship and developing business relationships.
Lastly, I assist with recruiting and training new volunteers in order to create autonomous teams for company expansion into new cities.

Associate
Compensia is a management consulting firm that provides executive compensation, board compensation, and other advisory services to technology and life science companies. While at Compensia, I conducted research and analyses on competitive compensation practices for pre-IPO and well-established technology and life science companies.

Using this data, I would draft and edit research reports and presentations on aggregate equity usage and executive pay, including analysis on peer group development, board compensation, equity burn rate, and executive market pricing. In addition, I would provide ad hoc research on different compensation methodologies and thoughtful market practices to ensure legal, regulatory, and accounting compliance of client's compensation structure.
