Jayne Amelia speaks with Jacqueline Robles, a former foster youth, and a relentless determined powerhouse of a young woman who aged out of the system and made her own way... jumping through hoop after hoop with the hoops always changing and ever higher.
Identifying as both Indigenous and Latina, Jacqueline is set on a career to “level the playing field” for communities of color. Jacqueline’s expertise lies in community engagement, policy, and working with historically disadvantaged communities to make the world a better place. Jacqueline is now an Inclusive Economic Development Advisor at a national non-profit that supports local organizations focused on community and economic development with intentions to create more equitable cities. Prior to her current role, Jacqueline served as a project manager for a Los Angeles consulting firm focused on engaging communities with lived experience and proposing policies to build more affordable housing. In addition, Jacqueline has served on various boards and commissions, including the Youth Commission for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Lived Experience for Affordable Housing, and is a volunteer math tutor for inner city high schools. In addition, Jacqueline is a child welfare expert and often sought out by government agencies and organizations to provide her insights from personal and policy experience. When Jacqueline is not making cities more equitable, you can find her hanging with her German shepherd and husky, traveling to a new country, or hanging with friends. Jacqueline holds a Master of Public Policy degree from UCLA and a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from California State University Long Beach.
