Hi, I'm Tanisha. I started my first company at 16: a sustainable shoe brand that donated a pair for every pair sold and employed 25 women from underserved communities. I learned I love bringing people together to solve problems.
Currently, I study business and product design at USC Marshall. This summer I was a Product intern at Delta Air Lines, where I helped take Delta.com's first checkout redesign in a decade from 70+ open defects to live. Before that, I shipped AI products at YouWeb Incubator, the incubator behind Discord, wearing different hats across product, engineering and design.
I lead client services at USC's leading product group, where I brought on Snapchat as a partner and designed the PM curriculum for a 30-person cohort. I also ran marketing for The Consulting Club, driving 123K views and 1K+ followers and scaling recruitment to 350 applicants.
