Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJen Dodd is a science editor and quantum community leader with a PhD in physics and over 15 years bridging research, public engagement and organizational strategy. She has led community and educational programs at Xanadu—growing teams, organizing a 4,000+ participant quantum hackathon and driving university adoption of PennyLane—then translated that experience into editorial and operational roles in Toronto’s science ecosystem. A seasoned event builder and fundraiser, she co-founded Canada’s largest Maker Festival and has repeatedly scaled volunteer-powered programs to tens of thousands of attendees. Jen combines deep technical knowledge of quantum computing with hands-on ops experience, from lab-grade research to labeling switches and installing projectors, making her unusually fluent across both strategy and execution.
