After years of leading and participating in service organizations, Jessie served as an AmeriCorps Volunteer Infrastructure Fellow at HandsOn San Diego (HOSD) in 2016. She was then hired on as a staff member at HOSD and has served in various roles since then. In her current role as Program Director she oversees HOSD's volunteer programs and nonprofit partnerships while supervising the organization's College Corps Fellows. Her passion for volunteerism and the nonprofit sector led her to complete a Master of Arts degree in Nonprofit Leadership and Management at the University of San Diego.
Prior to her time with HOSD, she earned Bachelor of Arts degrees in Art and History of Art & Visual Culture from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Jessie puts those creative abilities to work in the marketing materials she creates for HOSD and her photography at HOSD's events.
Jessie is proud to serve the community where she was raised, both professionally and in her personal life. She has been involved in Rotary International programs for over a decade and recently served as president of Mission Valley Evening Rotary.
