Join us at Sticks Coffee Shop for a creative twist on connection! We’ll be painting sticks—and stones too—as we turn driftwood and river rocks into beautiful, one-of-a-kind works of art. Enjoy an iced drink, create, and network with inspiring women in a relaxed, nature-infused setting.

Who is Carlyn Wice? 

As a human resources consultant serving small businesses and nonprofits across California, I've seen how tough it can be to manage hiring, retention, and compliance—especially when you're growing fast or wearing multiple hats. Maybe you’re hiring your first employee and want to do it right. Maybe you're losing sleep over whether your policies are up to date. Or maybe you're struggling to keep great people without the budget of a big company.

You're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I help founders like you navigate complex employment regulations, build solid HR foundations, and create workplaces where teams thrive. Whether it’s drafting compliant policies, supporting thoughtful hiring decisions, or helping you retain the talent you’ve worked hard to find, I’m here to make HR feel less overwhelming—and more human.

Social responsibility has driven me my whole life. I bring experience in teaching, research, and social work. And lots of passion and excitement. Since 2020, I've helped nonprofits and small businesses comply with HR regulations and build their teams. I've earned a BA and an MA in Psychology from USC and an MSHR from Pepperdine.
