Jess Newley
Community Science and Education Director
she/her/hers
Jess Newley joined our team in 2018. Passionate about marine conservation and life under the surface, she has been SCUBA diving the Salish Sea waters for 10 years now and wouldn’t want to be found anywhere else. In 2013 she graduated from Western Washington University with a Master’s Degree in Environmental Education and a certificate in non-profit administration. With experience in diving, boating, place-based education, and field science, Jess combines all of her favorite things as our Community Science and Education Director — working on student and boater education, Pacific Sand Lance beach surveys, community science projects, and developing other science education programs for Friends.
