Jennifer Tang’s parents are survivors of the Cambodian genocide. Growing up with those stories Jennifer had a lot of questions about how societies and government could fall apart like that.

Jennifer has been a teacher for five years, and she has worked in education for 10 years. During her recent campaign a lot of people could easily say “Oh, as a teacher she may not have experience in finance and things like that.” However Jennifer has also worked at startups for four years and helped build the companies from the ground up.
