Mariam Matin (C’15) is an entrepreneur who has spent the last eight years helping young, diverse talent launch careers. She first co-founded Second Day alongside Brigit Goebelbecker (SFS’15) and Philip Dearing (C’15). The organization has matched hundreds of college students to paid social impact internships and provides professional development content to budding social impact professionals through partners like Obama Foundation, Venture For America, and Coding It Forward.

She is currently building Forward, a job-matching platform that is using a combination of skill-based hiring practices and educational content to help better connect early-career talent to jobs, particularly those who often get left behind in traditional recruiting.

She currently resides in Austin, TX with her husband, her dog, and some of the best breakfast tacos you’ve ever had.
