Meet our new Rapid City Job Center Representative, Jessa!

Welcome our new Job Center Representative, Jessa! We are excited for her to join the team! Let’s learn more about Jessa!


Jessa:


“I am a soon-to-be graduate from South Dakota State University with Bachelor’s degrees in Political Science and Global Studies.


I joined Goodwill’s Mission Services Team because I wanted to use my knowledge and education to give back to my hometown community of Rapid City.


I look forward to providing resources and support to the public as we help improve and uplift the lives and opportunities of our neighbors.


I am an adrenaline junkie amateur, with a love for water sports, snowmobiling, and motorcycles. My bucket list includes: skydiving, bungee jumping, and scuba diving with sharks.


I also enjoy camping and hiking, cuddling with my dog, and trying new cuisines. I plan to join the Peace Corps in the future and would like to travel to Northern Africa for a cultural experience.
