When she’s not leading marketing and communications efforts at high-impact organizations, Jess enjoys exploring DC’s fantastic food scene, serving as the Vice Chair of the board of directors of FRESHFARM, one of the nation’s largest farmers market organizations, constructing crosswords, and chasing after her spirited toddler.
