Our Story

What Does It Mean to Pay It Forward?

The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped our world—transforming how we shop, work, and learn. Most importantly, it reminded us that overcoming challenges requires people. Solutions aren’t born from systems or policies alone but from the collective effort of individuals working together.

At Sentra Solutions, our team brings over 75 years of combined experience across local, federal, and international government and nonprofit organizations. Over the course of our careers, we’ve navigated crises—war, public health emergencies, economic downturns—and worked on behalf of communities for whom these challenges were all-encompassing. These experiences taught us invaluable lessons and inspired Sentra Solutions' creation.

Our "people-centered" approach reflects our commitment to turning those lessons into action. What drives us is not just our expertise, but the belief that those who’ve overcome challenges have a responsibility to help others do the same. For us, paying it forward is more than a philosophy—it’s our mission.

Sentra Solutions is proud to be a woman- and minority-owned small business.

Lilly Simmering brings over 20 years of experience in non-profit, federal, and local government leadership. Her non-profit work includes roles ranging from outreach at Central California Legal Services to marketing support for a Southeast Asian farming cooperative entering national and international markets. In her federal career with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, she managed food and agriculture trade strategies with sub-Saharan Africa and Canada, led two trade missions for U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, supported six U.S. Agricultural Affairs offices, and oversaw a compliance case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

After leaving federal service, Ms. Simmering joined Boeing Capital Corporation, advancing regulatory efforts for aircraft financing, including ratification of the Cape Town Treaty and advocacy for Ex-Im Bank's export credit program. At the county level, she led King County's Local Food Initiative, uniting stakeholders across food and public health systems. In Orange County, CA, she addressed critical issues, implemented Board directives, and drove countywide initiatives. Under her leadership, Orange County became the first in California to reduce its homeless Point-In-Time Count in 2022 and developed strategies to divert the mentally ill from incarceration.

Ms. Simmering's proudest achievement is leading the creation of the United States' second local-level integrated data system connecting criminal justice, health, benefits, housing, and homelessness services. The System of Care Data Integration System and Care Plus Program earned national recognition as a Peer Learning Site by the National Association of Counties for its Familiar Faces Initiative.

Ms. Simmering has two Bachelor of Arts degrees, Political Science and Public Relations, from Pepperdine University and a Juris Doctorate from Western State University, Collegel of Law. She is a member of the Washington DC Bar Association.
