At Tangible Development, Tiffany serves as DEI Strategist, supporting the education and development of skills that create equitable environments.

Prior to joining Team Tangible, Tiffany spent time in various roles from specialist to director positions where they grew their education planning skills while continuing to facilitate programs and workshops on issues of equity, diversity and inclusion and organizational change. One of many notable moments in Tiffany’s career include their time working with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) on the Organizational Equity team to develop and implement professional development trainings for staff on racial justice. As part of that team, they also combated structural barriers to equity for women, people of color, and people who identify as LGBTQ.

In Tiffany’s early career, they were a Fulbright Scholar in the Republic of Moldova, where they worked closely with the Roma National Centre, a human rights resource group, to bring awareness to issues faced by the Roma ethnic community. Through educational presentations around Moldova, Tiffany helped to highlight educational access issues that occur across the country.
