JOCELYN KELLN

Jocelyn is all about people. As a strategic communications and engagement specialist, she helps translate research, project material, and people’s lived experiences, into meaningful content for sharing with others.
​
Before joining the FMC team, she co-founded INLE Social Performance – a social impact and risk consultancy based in Canada. Jocelyn brings specific expertise in sustainability, gender equality and Indigenous relations to her communications and storytelling work.
​
If one word could be used to describe Jocelyn’s experience, it would be diverse. She started her professional life as a bush pilot in Northern Canada and has since worked as a researcher, a volunteer and program coordinator, a facilitator and educator, in Indigenous consultation and engagement, as a risk manager, and as a storyteller. Whatever she is doing, she believes in taking a human-centred and inclusive approach.
​
Jocelyn holds a BA in International Relations and an MA in Communications and Culture from the University of Calgary. She has also completed a certificate in Social Impact Storytelling from Georgetown University.
​
When she’s not crafting stories, she’s likely to be at her Taekwondo class or listening to True Crime podcasts. Jocelyn lives in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with her husband, a captain with Ethiopian Airlines.
