Jessica has worked with the Solutions Insights Lab since 2023 and serves as an independent journalist interviewing social change makers who have created a proven social change model. The interviews are added to the public databases and are informed by a shared interest in identifying and interrogating what’s working, and what’s not, in the field of social innovation and supporting research and dialogue to advance problem-solving knowledge. The websites and databases are regularly used by journalists, philanthropists, policymakers, and change agents to learn more about promising responses to the world’s most pressing problems so that they can support, collaborate with, and shine a light on these ideas and models.
