Who We Are
Jessica first learned about The Prairie Enthusiasts through participating in the Wisconsin Master Naturalist Program. She then connected to the Glacial Prairie Chapter by volunteering in the field, eventually serving as the volunteer Chair and Board Representative. In her role as Operations Director, Jessica combines her familiarity with the organization with her nonprofit leadership background and love of fire-dependent ecosystems. Prior to joining The Prairie Enthusiasts, she served on other nonprofit boards and spent 15 years assisting nonprofits with program planning, evaluation, and capacity building. Jessica is excited to build on the organization’s successes to further protect and restore ecosystems native to the Upper Midwest.
