HER BACKGROUND. Pleshette relocated from the Bay Area to Sacramento in March 2001 where she began working for UC Davis Medical Center in April 2001. She resigned from her position as a Contract Administrator in the Facilities Design and Construction Department in March 2007 to work full-time in her own business….Sacculturalhub.com. Pleshette holds a B.S. degree in Business Administration from San Jose State University. While employed with Stanford University for 13 years (beginning her administrative career at the early age of 19 years old), Pleshette received gratification from helping others to get the resources and information they needed within the community. During her employment in the School of Medicine, she redesigned the medical student monthly newsletter and was the managing editor for 5 years. Pleshette also served on the committee to redesign the School of Medicine annual Catalog after being the coordinating editor for 3 years. Outside of work she found passion in advising relatives, co-workers, friends and families on how to achieve their personal, financial, and career goals. Through developing Sacculturalhub.com, Pleshette receives an ultimate wealth of gratitude, strength, and endurance for succeeding at exploiting the talent, skills, and creativity in African Americans of Northern California.

View Chamber of Commerce (October 2003), Stanford Hospital Auxiliary Scholarship (1994 and 1997) and the Changing Times Chapter American Business Women’s Association (May 1997).

Pleshette was also very much involved in community service while living in the Bay Area. In 1998 she organized an adult computer training program in Sunnyvale where she taught residents in low-income apartments how to use Microsoft Word. She served as the secretary and events coordinator in the St. John Children’s Department in East Palo Alto from 1994 to 1998. Pleshette also created a nonprofit organization, Community Connections to Success, where she recruited volunteers to coordinate workshops to provide job development and college preparation programs for minority and underprivileged youth in 1995.
