Bio
Hello, I am Tara BigBow. I am a Hackbright grad from the summer 2016 cohort! I am from Oklahoma and as I type this I am still living in Oklahoma and will be relocating to the bay area in 4 days! I am a proud member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma and my longterm goal is to help increase the Native American community in tech. I’ve come from a retail/marketing background and worked very hard to switch careers into a software engineering field. Every step has been hard for me and if my experience can help others get their footing in tech, then others might not feel as alone as I did when I first started my job search. In my free time I enjoy knitting while hanging out with my beagle puppies and drinking some coffee while watching the IT Crowd over and over.
