Jessy started with KOA as a housekeeper for the Livingston / Paradise Valley KOA Holiday. From there, she transferred to the Billings KOA Holiday holding a Guest Experience position. Jessy went on to work at the Naples / Marco Island KOA Holiday. It was there that she received an offer to join the MiT program. Jessy has gained experience at several KOA's across the nation before accepting the general manager position here at Winthrop/N. Cascades National Park KOA.

Prior to KOA, Jessy worked for Starbucks for a whopping 19 years! Somewhere along the way, Jessy and her wife purchased a Winnebago Solis Camper van to adventure around in and make memories. They knew they wanted to be traveling and living full-time in their van. Jessy's wife works remotely and can work on the road. Jessy had a decision to make and began applying for various opportunities that would allow her to also be on the road.  She applied to several KOA locations and received an offer, snagging it up right away. Jessy and her wife love hiking and spending time at the beach. Together they share custody of their 1-year-old 17pound doggo – Roamer.  He has been on the road with him since they rescued him and is the “perfect little nomad.” Jessy and her wife are so excited to be on this new KOA journey!
