Jessica started in finance and management consulting where she focused on making organizations more productive. After her son was born, she pivoted to social impact, leveraging technology to scale for-good initiatives. Her work has ranged from launching personalized learning technology to partnering with Foundations to inventing the birthday fundraiser for Facebook (which raised over $300M for non-profits in its first year alone).

Nowadays Jessica is focused on scaling Todayist and deepening how Todayist improves people’s day-to-day lives. She is committed to promoting equity and is a dedicated mentor to up-and-coming students, as well as an advisor to multiple non-profits.

Jessica is forever grateful to Santa Monica Community College for offering a two-point-something high school graduate with a 4th grade math education a gateway to opportunity. While firmly believing that degrees are in no way a measure of a person’s abilities, she also happens to have a BA from the University of Southern California and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
