Since 2019, J Gould Consulting has been guiding the developmental service industry through the legislative process connecting organizations with key players to have their voices heard. She was a board member of the regional center, and assisted individuals with developmental disabilities. Her work has involved governmental agencies that served the same population and were all based on gratuity. The entire system is underfunded between the state and federal governments. Rather than just serving the community, she wanted to impact change through grassroots lobbying so that she could become part of the process and have a positive impact.
