From Manhattan Beach To Scouting For NFL Falcons: O Is Doing It

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — Kjahna O, who grew up in Manhattan Beach, is now one of five women hired as scouting coordinators for NFL football teams recently. The self-described Korean American told Fox News in Atlanta how excited she was when she learned of being selected by the Atlanta Falcons.

Said O, "Especially for me, it’s not just only being a woman in a male-dominated industry, but it’s also being a Korean American in an industry that doesn’t really have a lot of people of color, so to represent my ethnicity is such an honor for me because I want people who look like me to see, hey if she can do it, I can do it. Because I didn’t have people like that growing up. I didn’t get to see many Asians in the NFL that weren’t in IT or weren’t in the business side of football."
