She is passionate about improving accessibility of services to under-served communities. Jess has lived in unincorporated Washington County for 12 years with two small, bored parrots who have taught her to abandon functional fixedness: just as a hammer is also a crowbar, a rolling pin and an entirely unironic objet d’art a beak is also a can-opener, a percussion instrument, and a tool for involuntary outpatient surgery.
Clement Uduk
Growing up in Portland’s Concordia neighborhood, Clement has experienced Portland’s life-cycle from quirky, off-beat hamlet in the Pacific Northwest to gentrified up-and-coming metropolis to one of the most interesting and complex cities in the U.S. as it pertains to social, racial and economic issues.
He received his bachelor’s in environmental science from the University of Portland and his graduate certificate in GIS from Portland State University. Clement is interested in water resource issues and mapping sociological phenomena like gentrification and transportation networks. He currently works for TrimbleMAPS as a GIS Analyst. When this guy isn’t mapping, you will hear him celebrating (or bemoaning) being a Trail Blazers fan, thinking of mapping projects, telling you why Meyers Leonard was the most controversial Blazer since 2001, or perfecting pozole verde recipes.
