After working as a vendor for many years, Tina Drake moved into a staff role as a vendor liaison in March 2020, when she began organizing vendors in an action team in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. She recently discussed this transition with DeVon Pouncey on the Street Roots podcast. She has been profiled in Street Roots several times, about her transition, her return to school, and the challenges of living in an R.V. in Portland.
