About me

Hi there! I'm Jackie Koerner. I use she/her pronouns. I am from the Midwestern United States.

I have been a Wikimedia project volunteer since 2016. I will continue to use my volunteer account for my activities outside of this professional role.

I will hold discussions for feedback and employ active listening techniques. I will work hard every day for equity and inclusion within our communities. I can talk civilly about our work even if you disagree with me or I disagree with you. I will not respond to comments or questions that are disrespectful to me, to my colleagues, or to anyone in our communities. I will not compromise on this.

My work

As of July 2022, I am Communication Specialist for Community Resilience and Sustainability. In January 2022, I began working as a Communication Specialist for Movement Strategy and Governance. In January 2021, I began work as a facilitator supporting conversation and outreach for Movement Strategy and Governance.

My goal is to design accessible communication and engage with contributors.

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Wikimedia Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Wikimedia Foundation.
