Commerce · Data · Social Good

Tyra Jean.

I work at the intersection of commerce, data, and community — and I believe all three can be forces for good. Currently building at TikTok, consulting for nonprofits and arts organizations through DV4G, and doing doctoral research on the power of stories to help young people heal.

"Connection is something we have access to at any time — and when we show up for each other with honesty and care, that's where the real work happens."

— Tyra Jean
What I care about

Three things I care deeply about.

Commerce, data, and community — I care about all three, and I believe they belong together.

Business development at the frontier of social commerce

I get to spend my days building relationships at a place where culture and commerce actually meet. It's fast, it's people-driven, and it reminds me every day that business is really just connection at scale.

Bibliotherapy and bicultural identity

Stories helped me understand myself. Now I'm researching how they can do the same for first-generation kids navigating two worlds. Junior Toussaint is my graphic novel protagonist — and I'm looking for the right artist to bring him to life. Come build this with me.
