Jen “Tiger” Maher

Why I said yes to joining the Team: I said yes because last year I felt the vibrant, queer joy of WWRR and wanted to help keep it alive — wrangling vendors, sparking connections, and turning the marketplace into a place to meet, mingle, and shop with pride.

Favorite part of WWRR: The merch table! I loved being there as folks first arrived, welcoming them into the space and helping them grab a commemorative so they could take a little piece of WWRR home.

Wish for Attendees: The freedom of wearing whatever you want and feeling celebrated for it.

Three-word vibe: welcoming, warm, wild

Song to get into the WWRR mood: “Born This Way” — Lady Gaga

Off-duty joy: Aprendee español and anything artsy/crafty

Local G’ville love: Baked on the River at The R3 Hotel for Swedish pancakes

Hidden skill: I have cat-like reflexes

Pronouns, hometown, favorite emoji: she/her, Concord, 🐯
