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.

Jesse serves as the Student Affairs Assistant for the CU College of Nursing. She supports the Admissions and Student Affairs team and assists students and the public in any way possible. She also has a weird love of spreadsheets, and cleaning and organizing data.

In her off-time, Jesse loves the joys of cycling and hiking in the beautiful state of Colorado. She loves good literature and awesome spaces, so there is always a stack of good books and interior design magazines on her coffee table, bedside table, and dining table…wherever room allows. When not hiking, reading or riding her bike, she can usually be found feeding, petting, playing with, or cleaning up after her dear kitty, Phoebe.
