Yasmin’s (she/her/ella) career has been at the intersection of human-centered design, organizing, and change management. Most recently Yasmin served as the Chief Program Officer at 100Kin10, where she focused on building the vision, strategy, team, and technical infrastructure to scale the impact of a network of 320+ organizations dedicated to ending the STEM teacher shortage.
