Sonya Jelks

For over 20 years, professionally I have expertise as a global IT Consultant and Business Project Manager. Over the last few years, I have added community advocate and policy and govt to my professional and personal skillsets. In 2015, I was elected to the City Council for the City of Meriden and also appointed as a Justice of the Peace. Recently I worked at the Connecticut General Assembly as a Legislative Aide and Clerk for the Legislative Committee for the State of Connecticut, but currently, I am employed with national nonprofit, CSH - Corporation for Supportive Housing as the Director for the Connecticut Office. In my spare time, I volunteer with several non-profits where I always look to utilize technology solutions to solve everyday problems in support of local businesses and community organizations that help to improve the lives of families and children in our communities.

But my most important role in life, of course, is being a mom to my two beautiful, smart and talented daughters, Zari and Aja, who are my everyday inspiration!

Please feel free to contact me with questions, issues or concerns and follow me on social media to see more of my professional and community efforts and interests. God Bless!
