Professional Bio
Jessa’s career in experiential education spans more than 15 years across outdoor education, environmental interpretation, challenge course operations, higher education, and well-being. She brings experience in program development, facilitation, risk management, leadership development, and building sustainable systems that support both participants and practitioners. Her work is grounded in a curiosity about what happens when people are given meaningful opportunities to step outside their usual routines and pay closer attention to place, to one another, and to themselves. She is especially interested in the quieter ways outdoor experiences can create connection, reflection, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
