OUR TEAM

The VetPhoenix team is composed of leaders, scholars, and lived experts who have walked the same paths we now strive to transform.

 

Our members bring direct experience in policy, housing, justice involvement, and nonprofit executive leadership, each with a proven history of solving complex problems for the most vulnerable and marginalized populations.

 

Together, we unite professional expertise with personal experience to create solutions that are practical, compassionate, and effective. Guided by research, grounded in proximity, and driven by purpose, our team ensures that every initiative reflects the realities of those we serve while advancing equity, dignity, and transformation across every system we touch.
