As Senior Director of Diversity & Inclusion, I work full-time with Software Freedom Conservany's member project, Outreachy. Outreachy is a three month, remote internship program. Our goal is to improve diversity in free software and open source communities.As an Outreachy organizer, I find grants and funding for Outreachy. I also promote the program to applicants and volunteer mentors. I ensure that the Outreachy mentors, coordinators, applicants, interns, and alums are supported. I create new projects and documentation to promote better inclusivity and equity practices in our mentoring communities.I also host weekly office hours for Software Freedom Conservancy member projects who seek advice on diversity, inclusion, and creating safe and welcoming communities.

Otter Tech provides diversity and inclusion consulting for tech companies and online communities. We provide Code of Conduct enforcement workshops, training, and advice.

Outreachy provides paid, remote internships. Outreachy supports diversity in Free and Open Source (FOSS) software. Mentors from 83 different open source projects have worked with 499 interns, and 35 alumni have been hired by companies that sponsor Outreachy.Outreachy internships in Free and Open Source Software are open internationally to women (cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people. Additionally, they are open to residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.As one of three coordinators, I help with securing funding from corporate sponsors, directing new mentoring organizations through the application process, communicating deadlines to interns, and ensuring a successful internship for minorities in technology.I created a website for Outreachy based on Django, Bootstrap, the Wagtail Django CMS package, and deployed on Rackspace with Dokku. The website handles the entire Outreachy application process for potential interns, and signing up mentors and coordinators to participate. The git repository is at https://github.com/sagesharp/outreachy-django-wagtail/https://www.outreachy.org
