Jessie joins us as the Operations Associate and as a certified Salesforce Administrator, overseeing all of the organization’s systems and applications. She is a Colorado native with a BA from Metro State University of Denver and has over a decade of office administration and coordination experience in a variety of fields.

When Jessie isn’t camping, hiking, and exploring the mountains, she is traveling as often as possible through the US and overseas. She enjoys travel/landscape photography and spending time with her friends and family. She and her boyfriend, Jon, reside in Arvada, CO, with their canary and 50+ houseplants.
