Location: New York, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/jessa

In my past lives I was a Big 4 auditor, a small business owner (ask me about my plant shop!), and a startup co-founder. 

Currently, I am a lifecycle marketer on Ramp’s growth team and the world’s biggest emdash hater.

## Work Experience
### Senior Lifecycle Marketing Manager @ Ramp
Jan 2026 – Present | New York City

### Lifecycle Marketing Manager @ Ramp
Jan 2025 – Jan 2026
Fun fact - if you get emails from "The Ramp Team" or "Jessa from Ramp", those are from me!

Notable achievements: I built a Claude Code skill that scans marketing copy for AI slop, flags it, and rewrites it before publishing.

### Lifecycle Marketing Specialist @ Ramp
Jan 2024 – Jan 2025

### Product Marketing @ Travelsist
Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Atlanta, Georgia, United States

### Co-Founder @ Deevo Loyalty
Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area
Another side quest and an inactive venture. Deevo is a marketing tool designed to help small businesses understand customer behavior, build loyalty programs, and drive growth. Before pausing, my co-founder and I secured funding to build an MVP and launched a beta with small businesses in San Francisco and New York City.

### Content Strategist @ Create Crisp
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Los Angeles, California, United States
Side quest during grad school and my first experience with agency work. TLDR I designed signage for museums in LA!

### Head Gardener @ Mother Pucking Nature
Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area
Mother Pucking Nature was my transition out of financial services and, in my opinion, the coolest small business a 23 year old could own. 

This venture paid for grad school while giving me real-world experience in design, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Key takeaways include:
- retail management and operations
- marketing across social, web, and out-of-home advertising
- discovered a way to share my love of plants while developing professionally and learning new skills

### Audit Senior @ Deloitte
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area
Specialized in IPO readiness engagements for tech and life sciences companies. 

My core focus areas were:
1. establishing and testing internal controls to ensure compliance under SOX
2. implementing revenue recognition policies under ASC 606

### Senior Audit Assistant @ Deloitte
Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area

### Audit Assistant @ Deloitte
