Hey there, I'm Ana Jonessy (they/them/theirs)! I'm an AuDHD queer vegan bot maker, writer, gamer, community organizer, facilitator, and crisis responder with HUSH Collective, operations director at Gibbon Conservation Society, and former digital security trainer for Protecting Rights Through Engaging Community-Based Techniques (PROTECT) at Internews.
Over the years, I’ve worked as a community organizer, facilitator, moderator, resource person, project manager, outreach/engagement coordinator, digital communications executive, and gallery manager.
Throughout all these experiences, whether in technology, communications, or community engagement, my primary interest has always been working with people, understanding their needs, and collaborating to co-create meaningful solutions to meet those needs.

I've had wonderful and productive engagements with Freedom Film Network,Sabah AIDS Support Services Association (KASIH), Sisters in Islam, and Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism & Human Rights (MCCHR) among others.
Since 2017, my friends and I have been collaborating and co-organizing a community-driven collective that focuses on using film and interactive workshops to address human rights issues impacting our communities, with a special emphasis on the lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ Malaysians. We call ourselves HUSH Collective **(**previously known as BENTARAKATA).
