"Your first job out of school may not be the perfect fit, but volunteering in organizations or fields you aspire to be in can be the ticket that takes you to your next big thing! "

Jessi is the Marketing Director for the Zeiders American Dream Theater, a professional Theater that produces new works and spotlights emerging artists on their road to success.

Jessi is a proud recipient of the Foote Fellow scholarship, and was able to graduate a semester early with a major in Advertising, PR minor, and Theater minor. She was lucky to find herself working in exactly the field she hoped for: Arts Marketing. Her career began as a Marketing Manager for the William and Mary Theater Dept, and took her to her current position at The Z. She loves getting to create a brand for the theater, share a creative space with so much talent, and even occasionally take the stage! Her work as Marketing Director earned her a spot in COVA Business Magazine's 2023 NextGen Awards for young professionals.

You may also recognize Jessi as Player 220 from Netflix's "Squid Game: The Challenge", which aired in 2023 to a record number of viewers. She loved the backstage peek at how reality TV is created, and the chance to meet players from all over the Globe!
