I am Shannon N. Sanchez, a passionate advocate, dedicated coach, experienced public policy analyst, and emerging author dedicated to transforming lives and systems through policy, mentorship, and storytelling.
My journey began in the military and federal government, where I built a foundation in policy development and strategic planning. Over time, my passion shifted toward child welfare, where I’ve seen firsthand both the challenges and the possibilities for reform. Today, I bring that expertise and conviction into every area of my work.
​
Currently pursuing a PhD in Social Policy with a concentration in child welfare, I combine academic research, professional expertise, and lived advocacy as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) to bring both strategy and compassion to every role I serve.

WHAT I DO
POLICY ANALYSIS & DEVELOPMENT
With years of experience in federal and military policy, and now as a PhD student in Social Policy, I specialize in analyzing, designing, and implementing policies that create meaningful impact. My focus is on policies that protect vulnerable populations, strengthen child welfare systems, and improve outcomes for those most at risk.
FOSTER CARE ADVOCACY
Advocacy is more than what I do. It is who I am. As a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), I’ve stood alongside children in the foster care system, ensuring their voices are heard in spaces where they are often overlooked. This frontline perspective gives me a personal understanding of the urgent reforms needed in child welfare.
COACHING & MENTORSHIP
I believe growth begins with guidance and encouragement. As a coach and mentor, I work with young adults, leaders, and professionals to help them build resilience, set meaningful goals, and unlock their potential. My approach combines accountability, encouragement, and practical strategies for personal and professional success.
