Jesse is a proud Denver native, born in Rose Hospital. She is a product of Denver Public Schools and the University of Colorado Boulder. Jesse has worked in various roles in education and in the nonprofit sectors, primarily in public school administration, scholarship administration, and education research and evaluation. Her evaluation work took her to a variety of public schools around the country, and she enjoyed interviewing and learning from students and teachers who were involved in a wide range of educational initiatives. She gained an appreciation for the hard work and dedication of teachers, administrators, and staff, and met amazing students along the way.
