Jesse is yet another midwesterner who made the great migration out west with her husband two years ago - mostly to be closer to mountains, friends, and sunshine. Shortly after, Jesse joined the Highlands community and has never felt so loved by a church community. Jesse completed a masters in social work in June 2010 and now works as a family therapist pursuing to strengthen families and prevent violence in homes.

She spends most of her winter weekends skiing the mountains with her best friends and summers are spent around a campfire. For Jesse, nothings better then spending time with her friends that have now become her family, her husband, and her pup Huckleberry.
