“Leadership that inspires, motivates, and empowers.  Throughout my career, it has been important for me to be the kind of leader who supports her colleagues in achieving their greatest potential.  Creating spaces that allow individual strengths to flourish results in a team that is driven to fulfill the mission of the organization and intentional in transforming the communities that they serve.  

This same ethos is what excites me about the way Plus Delta Partners collaborates with its partner organizations. We provide the tools and frameworks that leverage the strengths and natural ability already exhibited in fundraisers and fundraising teams across the country to raise more money and empower communities through thoughtful practice.” 

With 13 years of fundraising experience, Jessica joins the Plus Delta Partners team with the demonstrated success in relationship building to lead philanthropists of all backgrounds to achieve their goals in supporting causes within the fine arts, healthcare, higher education and nonprofit industries. Her comprehensive nonprofit experience includes major gift fundraising, annual fund fundraising, annual fund campaign creation and management, volunteer management, proposal development, group sales, and education program planning and implementation.

During her seven years at Oberlin College, Jessica participated in the final two years of the $250 million campaign and worked with campaign volunteers to successfully close the gap in scholarship support. Throughout her time at Oberlin, raised over $8 million and worked to spearhead initiatives to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus. Previous nonprofit experience includes fundraising roles at St. Luke’s CHI Hospitals in Houston and the Houston Symphony.

Prior to joining Plus Delta Partners, Jessica served as Director of Development for the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University. By providing strategic direction to the academic leadership and collaborating with development colleagues across the university, she worked as part of the team to create the priorities and framework for the upcoming campaign for the Global Futures Laboratory.

Jessica has an adventurous spirit and enjoys traveling as much as possible, spending time exploring small-town festivals and outdoor markets, and enjoying all forms of the fine arts.
