About Me
I’m Jessie! My pronouns are she/her. I’m a special education teacher turned Jewish educator. I am deeply committed to making Jewish communities more equitable and accessible, as well as supporting anti-oppressive movements.
I’d love to hear more about your community and how I can support you.
