With a strong background in human resources, operations, and mental health advocacy, Yael brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to her work, striving to bridge the gap between individuals in need and the resources available to them. 

Yael’s journey toward launching Future Essentials was driven by both professional expertise and personal experience. Her extensive career in human resources and workforce development, spanning over eight years, provided her with firsthand insight into the barriers individuals face in securing stable employment, accessing benefits, and navigating financial literacy. Throughout her tenure in HR leadership roles across healthcare and corporate sectors, she witnessed the systemic challenges that many individuals—particularly those from marginalized communities—face in securing stability and growth in their professional and personal lives.
