Summary
Taya Mueller is an experienced civic leader and operations strategist with eight years in public service and a long career building programs, events, and partnerships across arts, philanthropy, and civic tech. As District Manager for Brooklyn Community District 2 she led a rapid digital transformation during COVID, built the district’s first social channels and youth council, and scaled resident engagement (email list +214%, high open rates) for a complex, high-density constituency. Previously a Parabol co-founder and nonprofit consultant, she blends startup product sensibilities with grantmaking, research, and large-scale event production expertise. Taya is skilled at creating pragmatic systems—public drives, live calendars, volunteer networks—that increase transparency and participation, and she brings an unexpected mix of audience development and municipal policy experience to community-facing technology and communications.
