Organizer
Sandra works as an organizer for the Fair Workplace Collaborative, where she focuses on empowering workers from vulnerable populations and small business owners through education and connecting them with resources in Santa Clara County. Sandra is driven by the passion to generate a positive impact in the community of San José where she has lived for more than 23 years. Sandra joined Working Partnerships USA in 2020. She started working with the Community Health & Business Engagement Team (CHBET), conducting outreach and connecting the community to resources during the pandemic. She helped find resources from Santa Clara County for public assistance, food, COVID information, and more. After her time with CHBET, she was given the opportunity to join the Fair Workplace Collaborative, where she discovered the excitement of serving the community, similar to her years as a member of the Local 19 union. Sandra is a woman with a family where she feels completely happy, including her husband, daughter, and their dog Chipi.
