I have worked with several startups over the past 8 years. Freelancing means I have been exposed to a LOT of startup stages and industries, as well as a wide variety of tools and systems. On the recruiting side, I've helped multiple startups implement and migrate to a new Applicant Tracking System, and have hired across multiple departments and seniority levels. I have experience in the following areas: - Early-stage startups are my forte. I've worked with startups from seed stage (where I was "employee" #3) to Series E. - I've supported many startup founders and execs over the years, including 4 CEOs, 1 Chief Human Resources Officer/General Counsel, 2 VPs of Marketing, and a Chief of Staff. - I consider myself a pro at calendar tetris! Multiple time zones and packed calendars don't scare me. - Throughout my various Executive Assistant roles, I have single-handedly managed large projects such as event planning, investor meeting scheduling and tracking, and a very complex office renovation + move.

Edward T. Lewis stands out as the relevant and experienced leader to helm the Veterans’ Empowerment and Community Engagement (VECE) pilot program, demonstrating unparalleled dedication and a unique blend of skills ideally suited for this five-year pilot. His deep-seated commitment to veterans’ welfare is evidenced in his current pivotal work, where he assists Black veterans with disability benefit applications, a task he executes with unmatched precision and empathy. The foundation of Edward's passion for veterans’ support is rooted in his family history. Coming from a lineage of proud veterans—including his parents, sibling, and son — has endowed him with a profound understanding of the challenges, approaches, and needs specific to the Black veteran community. This personal connection, combined with his own experiences navigating the VA disability and health care system, has not only enriched his knowledge but also fueled his drive to empower other Black veterans to fully utilize the services available to them. Edward's resume is a testament to his breadth of transferable skills, and military background --- US Army, US Army Reserves, and California Army National Guard (1983 – 1996) that further solidifies his position as the primary candidate for this role. His background in community development and housing administration showcases his adeptness at managing complex systems for communal benefit. His military honors speak to his commitment and capability, aligning seamlessly with the objectives of the pilot program. In Sacramento, Edward's influence and achievements are proven, purposeful, and longstanding. His active participation in local boards, commissions, and community initiatives exemplifies his deep-rooted commitment to civic and socio-economic growth and development for all, but especially communities of color. These accomplishments in Sacramento underscore his ability to lead, engage, and uplift communities—a critical aspect of the leadership required for the Veterans' Empowerment and Community Engagement five-year pilot program. Edward's vision to provide tools for Black Veterans transformation, inclusiveness, and engagement is deeply personal and urgent for him, particularly because of his experiences with countless Black Veterans. Having witnessed firsthand the unique challenges they face, Edward is driven by a profound understanding of their needs, and resources available in the Greater Sacramento Region. His commitment to this pilot project stems from a desire to make a real, tangible difference in their lives. He recognizes the critical importance of equipping Black veterans with resources that can facilitate their transition and healing. For Edward, this initiative is not just a professional endeavor; it's a heartfelt mission to honor the service of these individuals by actively contributing to their journey toward stability, acceptance, and a renewed sense of purpose to achieve and thrive. Edward T. Lewis is the embodiment of the program's goals and ideals. His comprehensive blend of personal experience, professional acumen, and a steadfast commitment to Black veterans and the community positions him as the ideal leader for this innovative five-year pilot impactful initiative. Additionally, to his credit … a “military brat” with both parents (father Charles Edward Lewis, Korean War Veteran, who served 1952 – 1965; mother, Johnnie Mae Lewis, who served 1959 – 1961; and son, Jordan Trevon Lewis, served 2012 – 2016).

Well hello there! I'm Chris, also know in the digital space as @whoachriswhoa! An almost obsessively people-focused creative, I've spent my professional career in roles that have allowed me to connect others. Whether it's hosting parties, creating vulnerable, authentic conversation spaces on-camera with a media company with millions of viewers, or bringing incredibly immersive and captivating events to life, I have a knack and love for encouraging people to authentically express themselves and their ideas! Personally I love coming up with new ways to turn dreams/thoughts into reality and have found a LOVE for Cosplay as it allows me to do all my favorite things: immerse myself in media I enjoy, bring that media to life, make people smile, and connect with other creators!

My skills vary from event curation to writing to arts and creative direction. I do not limit myself to one set thing, so I am constantly expanding my work ethic through different avenues. I am available to virtually assist clients as needed. I can respond to emails, organize files, upkeep a social media page or website, feedback in decision making and provide any other necessary aid. Because the English language can get tough to understand and correctly write, I enjoy putting my grammar skills to use by writing, proofreading, editing and transcribing work to transform it into something better than before. Although writing is a great source of creation, creative direction is a special focus of mine. I can assist with any form of creativity necessary. I’ve curated 6 events so far since 2019 through my companies Bygone and sevenATseven. Also, I have made custom jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, anklets, using various beads, pearls, crystals, wires and rubber. Videography allows me to creative direct and edit afterwards to see a final product from my own hands. I've created music videos, recaps of events, logos, slideshows and more. I use a Nikon Coolpix B500, Canon and iPhone to capture photos and videos. I have experience with Pages, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, InShot, ShotCut. I also am familiar with other Adobe apps if needed for a project. I have experience with planning and filming music videos as well. I am always open to new projects and look forward to new experience in these fields.
