An Everlasting Sign

"Jessica was my manager earlier in my fundraising career and has served as a key mentor for even longer. She is an expert relationship builder, knowing innately how to meet donors, teammates, and cross-departmental colleagues where they are at. This deep proficiency in relationship building has played a key role in her exceptional fundraising record and ability to seamlessly play a lead role in organization-wide strategy discussions."

Gabriel Pachter, MPA, ACLU of Illinois

"Jessica is a consummate professional and is exceptional and innovative as a fundraiser and strategist. As a corporate donor, it have been my privilege to work directly with her in driving meaningful impact to engage and empower marginalized communities across the city of Chicago. Her intentionality, compassion and commitment have helped to transform the lives of hundreds of individuals who were not looking for a handout, but simply a hand up and a level playing field to do better and to be better."

JeNyce Boolton, U.S. Bank

"[Jessica] has been a guest in my fundraising classes several times, and her visits are always a highlight of the semester. She has the ability to see both the big picture and need for strategy along with the small picture and the need for sweating the details, and students love hearing about her thoughtful and deliberate career path. I always learn something when I connect with Jessica, and I am already looking forward to her next visit to my class."
