### Who is Carlyn Carter Wice?

“As-needed” HR services for your small business or non-profit. Remote-based. All industries welcome.
In the early 2000s, I taught psychology courses at community colleges and to youth at ("nerd") summer camp. After that, I worked for nine years with families and individuals as a social worker. I love both teaching and advocating for others.
In an unexpected turn of events, I became an empathetic ear, not only for the students and clients I served but for colleagues and coworkers as well. I began to see the shortcomings of academic and governmental employment and brushed up on employment law in my spare time. My passion shifted to helping burned-out employees AND the organizations that need them at their best.
During the pandemic In 2020, I pivoted my career to Human Resources from social work. Since then, I have helped nonprofits and small businesses become compliant with HR laws and regulations and build their workplace cultures. CCC started in 2023 and I could not have done It without help from professors, mentors, neighbors, friends, family, and previous employers. I hold a BA and MA in Psychology from USC and an MSHR from Pepperdine and cannot WAIT to hear YOUR story.
