If you ask about her passions, Jess will draw you a venn diagram with the words community, freedom, and learning, and point to the sweet spot where all three overlap. She is dedicated to connecting people and ideas through new technologies and interactive experiences.

Jess joins us from the [Mozilla Foundation](http://www.mozilla.org), where she served as Creative Lead for such projects as the [X-Ray Goggles](https://webmaker.org/en-US/goggles), Hackasaurus (which became part of the larger Webmaker platform), [Thimble](https://thimble.webmaker.org/en-US) and the [Hive](https://hivelearningnetworks.org/). She also served as the Creative Director for [Mozilla Open Badges](http://openbadges.org/), where she helped develop an ecosystem of tools for learners to earn, assess, issue and display digital micro-credentials. A Rockaway Beach native, Jess co-founded Rockaway Help in the wake of Hurricane Sandy to empower the community to find solutions for emergency response, preparedness and rebuilding through hyperlocal open news and the development of innovative community-designed technologies. She was named a [White House Champion of Change](https://www.whitehouse.gov/champions/civic-hacking-and-open-government/jessica-klein) for her civic hacktivism.
