Jess

I am thrilled to be joining the Norton & Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics as their Project Coordinator. I started my career with JUF in 2018 with the Professionals Network in the Campaign Division. I’m originally from Evanston but am moving to the Andersonville/Uptown neighborhood! I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington with a major in Sociology and minor in Human Sexuality and Reproductive Health. I’m incredibly passionate about equitable and accessible health education and cannot wait to participate in the wonderful work the Community Outreach and Engagement team does. In my free time I love spending time outside with my pups, eating my way through various Chicago neighborhoods, and finding the best coffee shops!
