Jessica Resha

Development Coordinator and Event Planner in California

I've been in love with events ever since I was a little girl running around behind the scenes of the arena conferences that my dad managed. That deep-seated passion has evolved into a lifelong desire to plan events that make a difference in the world. Now, I'm an events and development specialist with experience planning and executing everything from weddings, to camps, to fundraisers who is well-versed in building and maintaining relationships with donors. I have an eye for detail, and I'm known for my creativity, thoroughness, and excellent communication skills (that and my killer baking abilities).

I'm a voracious reader with an ongoing goal of reading at least 12 books a year. I constantly stalk NPR and Amazon recommended reading lists for the latest critically acclaimed read. Some of my current favorites are The Magicians series, A Separate Peace, The Night Circus, and One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories. I fancy myself a cinephile and go to great lengths to see each Oscar-nominated movie every year. I'm a HUGE sports fan. I love to spend my fall Saturdays tailgating at USC games, and I guarantee you've never met anyone who loves the Olympics as much as I do. I love to travel. Ask me about my time studying abroad in London or my latest trip to Beijing and Tokyo.
