Jessie graduated with her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Ball State University in 2011. Following graduation, she began working for the Department of Child Services where she worked in various roles, including becoming a case management supervisor in 2017. Following her fourteen year career at DCS, Jessie decided to take a different path while remaining in the child welfare realm. She began at Cherish in April 2025, where she works as a Family Advocate. She is excited to see and experience cases through a different lens while still being able to directly advocate for the children and families we serve at Cherish. During her free time, Jessie enjoys spending time with her family as well as getting lost in a good book.
