“Working with Jess has been one of the most valuable professional development experiences I’ve ever had. The coaching process helped me focus on small, specific habits and tangible steps that made lasting change feel achievable. Jess brought such a unique blend of roles to each conversation: part coach, part trusted thought partner, and part subject-matter expert who truly understood the context I was working in.”

Why Helia LOVES Jess

Jess is that rare mix of strategic and deeply human. She sees the real dynamics in a room and helps people move through them with clarity, calm, and courage. Her ability to turn learning into action (and make it feel doable!) is unmatched. We love her curiosity, intentionality, and big-hearted presence. She is a coach and facilitator you want in your corner!

Jess finds joy + ease in

  • Photographing birds is my latest hobby and helps me find presence while learning a ton—both about the birds and how to operate the camera!
  • Reading, reading, reading: I read 80+ books in 2025. Fifteen were leadership-related, 60+ were novels of different genres, the rest were memoirs and other non-fiction
  • I love cooking new plant-based recipes (using recipes more for inspiration than as instructions!)
