Patrice's mission is to disrupt the opportunity gaps that deny historically resilient communities the transformative power of education and economic empowerment. As Co-Founder of AssistHub, Patrice is building a tech-enabled, people-powered organization in Oakland, CA that eases the process of obtaining public benefits and other economic opportunities in California. Before AssistHub, Patrice served as an Executive Advisor to former Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, where she led a postsecondary and workforce success strategy that emphasized the importance of equity-driven innovation and systems-change.
