Bio:
Jesse is an Eastern Christian alumna (K–12, Class of 2009) whose passion for creativity and child development has been shaped by both her education and professional experience. She studied Art and Psychology at Messiah College and went on to earn her Master’s degree in Art Therapy from School of Visual Arts, working as an Art Therapist for five years before stepping into the world of teaching.
Jesse is the owner of Colour and Whim Studio in Hawthorne, where she has fallen in love with teaching kids of all ages and seeing how creativity helps them grow in confidence and self-expression. She is excited to bring this experience into the EC classroom and continue nurturing students in a Christ-centered learning environment.
Her personal interests include watercolor painting, crocheting, and spending time with family and friends. She especially enjoys long walks and snuggles with her sweet dog, Phoebe. Jesse is a member of Emergence Church in Totowa and feels truly blessed to be part of EC’s mission—helping students grow spiritually, creatively, and with purpose.
