Tania O’Connell | Community Representative

Tania is a finance professional and a passionate advocate for immigrant rights. She was born and raised in Mexico and moved to the Bay Area as a young adult. She worked in supply chain and corporate finance for Fortune 500 corporations before becoming a mother.

Since then, Tania has been an investor and an active leader within the MVWSD schools, strongly advocating on behalf of children of immigrant parents. As a co-founder of Listos Mountain View, Tania connected Mountain View families to immigration lawyers and brought Know-Your-Rights, DACA, Paths to Citizenship, and other workshops to the city. As an immigrant herself, and as a mother of a child with learning differences, Tania understands how important it is to provide easy-to-access mental health services, especially for immigrant families and families of mixed immigrant status, and believes that early intervention is pivotal for success.
