Jess Nelson
Minnesota, Usa
My name is Jess. Some people would say that I’m obsessed with taking pictures and I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve been carrying a camera around with me pretty consistently since junior high and have always documented the lives of those around me (much to the annoyance of my friends and family — I’ve been called “paparazzi” more times than I can count).
Along with photography, some of my other passions include:
-travel (in the past 15 years I’ve been to over 20 countries)
-social justice (one of my majors in college was Peace Studies)
-public health (I’m in the process of completing my master’s thesis in maternal and child health/ global health/ public health)
-reading (I’m a huge book nerd)
My ultimate dream job is to be a travel photographer, but I would also like to be a public health consultant to help create programming, marketing, and evaluation tools for organizations working in global disability.
