Our Team

BIANA BOVA | SHE/HER
Digital Communications Associate
Bridgeport, CT

Creating a YouTube channel to share her illustration work was the first step in Biana’s social media marketing journey. As her online presence grew, she used her platform to support anti-racism, including promoting diversity in art, calling out racism in higher education, and sharing her experiences as someone with mixed ethnicity. These passions for creativity, social media, and social good dovetailed into a career in social media marketing for nonprofits. Outside of TuttleCo and her illustration work, Biana loves to rock climb, practice yoga, do puzzles, organize, learn Spanish, produce video essays, and watch DnD campaigns.
