CLAIRE JOY MOSS (she/her)
As a member of the Boston Fellow Success team, Claire Joy Moss supports the Hack.Diversity Fellows’ full-cycle experience. Her work includes coaching and guiding Fellows through the intricacies of the Hack Fellowship and their internships, as well as supporting curriculum and professional development. Her background is in education, having received her Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Berklee College of Music. Prior to working at Hack, she was a Career Services Advisor at Berklee's Career Center, coaching students on internships, career planning, and application prep, along with acting as the Accessibility Resources for Students Lead at the Career Center. Additionally, she served as a Black Scholars Initiative Mentor and on the DEI Recruitment Committee.
Claire’s motivation for mission-driven, service-oriented REDI work comes from her experiences as a biracial woman, living at the intersection of Black and white culture. Noticing that she was frequently “the only” in a room, she takes pride in helping others navigate the complexities of identity and being a sounding board for others with similar life experiences. She’s also a published writer, writing essays about mental health, the workplace, and racial identities for idontmind.com, The Scope Boston, and the Disability Justice Project.
When she's not working, Claire can be found hanging out with her very senior cat, Lucy, playing too many video games, or listening to a combination of sad songs, film scores, and musical theater cast albums at the gym.
