Hi! I’m glad you’re here. My name is Jess, and I care deeply about affordable housing, social equity, and locally driven solutions. I hold a Master of Public Administration from Montana State University, where my research explored affordable housing, housing insecurity, and houselessness in Gallatin County, Montana. My work centers on bridging research and practice to strengthen inclusive, community-based systems of support across the greater Gallatin Valley. I welcome any opportunity to collaborate with others who share a dedication to community well-being and meaningful, place-based change. Outside of work and study, you’ll find me rock climbing, snowboarding, or exploring the trails with my husband and our dogs, Vinny and Murphy.
