Introduction

I'm Jess Ladd, the Founder/Executive Director of the non-profit Sexual Health Innovations. I can do basic coding in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Rails, but my organization relies on volunteers to do the majority of our development work.

What kind of technologist are you? Or if you represent a social mission organization, what's it called and what are your goals?

My non-profit is Sexual Health Innovations, dedicated to using technology to improve sexual health and well-being in the United States. Our flagship project was the STD partner notification website So They Can Know (www.sotheycanknow.org), and we are now beginning to develop other sexual health websites.

Are you currently working on any projects that use technology for social good?

Yes. Besides maintaining and improving So They Can Know, we're developing tools to help clinics deliver STD test results, help people who've experienced sexual assault share their experiences to create greater awareness of this important issue, improve online free sex education for youth, and generally help people to have more fulfilling sex lives.

  • Hi Jessica,

    I received your voice message late today. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go to the meeting tonight. However, I would love if we could meet next week or the next about our Student Professional Experience program. Please let me know your availability.

    Thanks,
