Hi Elphas, I’m Domonique Fines Director of Events at Y Combinator where I oversee all of our offline experiences including Female Founders Conference and Demo Day. Prior to this role I worked at frog Design where I was responsible for office management and involved in events like SXSW and hackathons. I’m a native of Oakland and received my bachelor's degree from Clark Atlanta University. I had a great time chatting to @cadran about my career journey so far for the Y Combinator podcast which you can listen to here: https://blog.ycombinator.com/ycs-director-of-events-domonique-fines-with-elpha-ceo-cadran-cowansage/I’m passionate about technology, community, startups, operations, creating meaningful experiences, culture and inclusion.Ask me anything about my career: breaking into tech without a traditional tech background, Y Combinator, startups, outreach, events or anything else!
