Felicia Yep Salinas — Co-Founder

As an Inclusive Talent Expert and Strategist, I foster inclusive practices that enhance innovation and business productivity, ultimately driving success through our top talent workforce. By leveraging labor market analysis and statistical insights, I develop data-informed strategies that tap into the rich talent density within historically underrepresented communities. By building and streamlining processes, I help organizations improve equity and unlock the full potential of their workforce, leading to better decision-making and a competitive edge. Beyond business objectives, I am deeply committed to uplifting communities by partnering with external organizations to invest in education, mentorship, and career development opportunities, thereby strengthening both the talent pool and communities. In addition to my career, I pursue my creative passion as a Founder & Resident Artist of SmileMaz, where I share my love of art and digital design creations with the world. I believe that happiness is contagious and it's my duty to spread good faith and spirit to the environment around me. I'm inspired to spread smiles and empower hearts one design at a time
