San Francisco, California, United States
Hi there 👋 I'm Tawny! I'm a strong people person and leader, with a passion for mentorship, community building, and tech for social good. I am a big believer in leading with care, and as a FGLI graduate and biracial Korean American, I believe the diverse perspective we each bring to the table should be highlighted and celebrated. In all that I do, I am motivated by my goal to weave my intersectional experiences into meaningful, inclusive work. 👩🏻💻 In my free time I enjoy learning how to cook my favorite dishes 🍲, discovering new music 🎧, running 🏃🏻♀️, and I'm always looking for a good cafe ☕️. I'd be happy to hear your recommendations! I love connecting with others so feel free to reach out to me here or over at [email protected] Cheers!
