CLAIRE JOY MOSS (she/her)
As the Associate Director of Fellow Success in Boston, Claire Joy Moss provides strategy and oversight of the Boston Fellowship and manages a fantastic group of individuals who execute the full-cycle experience. 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 and Accessibility Resources liaison. 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. Her most recent accomplishment was the completion of the Community Fellows Program with the Institute for Nonprofit Practice, receiving a certification in Community Leadership and Social Change.
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.
