As the Executive Director of Techqueria, I wore a lot of different hats. I was in charge of partnerships, onboarding new staff members, marketing strategy, event planning, coordination, growing our chapters, community building, maintaining our software and online presence, creating OKRs, and creating a culture of transparency throughout the org.

I started volunteering for Techqueria back in April 2018 and helped launch Techqueria's new website and win our first grant. I started getting into a leadership role beginning in 2019 when the existing board invited me to join as a board member. In 2020, I became the first paid staff member as an Executive Director.

I take great joy in what the org has been able to accomplish. Since incorporating as a 501c3 nonprofit in March 2019, Techqueria grew from 8,500 to 15,000+ members and allies. We grew from 3,000 Slack members to nearly 10,000, as you can see today. We started hiring employees and quadrupled our revenue to $220K+ in 2020, with almost $50K going to those impacted by COVID-19.

Highlights
-  First paid staff member for the nonprofit
-  Managed a group of 5+ staff and 30+ volunteers
-  Oversaw 400% growth in members in 2019
-  Spearheaded new corporate partner strategy leading to 370% increase in gross profit from 2019 to 2020
-  Drove a 1,300% increase in visits to Techqueria's web properties from 2019 to 2020
-  Awarded Sentry's $10K Open Source Grant to work on the website of Techqueria in 2018
