Testimonials
Ripley Mayfield
Peer at General Assembly
Tavi is whip-smart and a quick learner. Along with her natural inclination for analytical thinking, she has very strong work ethic and will reliably put in time beyond what is asked of her to get projects done. She brings great energy that is calm, focused, and friendly. While studying alongside her, I've seen her willingly volunteer her time to help others and tackle difficult problems head on. Tavi will make a great addition to any team that is lucky enough to have her.

As a team leader for Greenleaf, she inspired those working with her to expand what they think is possible and to always exceed client expectations.
