Explore Technologist. Creator. Advocate.
Corrine J Blackthorn
Through technology, creativity, and community, I work to help people feel seen, inspired, and curious.
Who I Am
A technologist who creates and advocates.
I am a technologist, creator, advocate, entrepreneur, writer, photographer, musician, and lifelong learner.
Much of who I am today was shaped by compassion, resilience, curiosity, and a belief that people deserve opportunities to learn, grow, belong, and succeed.
Read my storyAt first glance, technology, photography, music, writing, advocacy, entrepreneurship, and even plants may seem unrelated. To me, they are all expressions of the same belief: people deserve the opportunity to learn, grow, create, belong, and succeed.
