What My Clients Have to Say…
Jesse is exactly who you want on your team! She is a big-picture thinker who also adroitly manages all of the minute details. She’s an exceptionally skilled writer, editor and project leader who knows the ins and outs of the children’s media industry. And as a bonus, Jess is truly thoughtful, kind and good-humored.

Jesse is truly the backbone of our shows. As Content Producer, she not only builds the curriculum for each episode, but she also designs the education goals that guide the entire series from concept to final delivery. Her work ensures our stories don’t just entertain, they empower kids to learn, wonder, and engage with the world in meaningful ways.
– Caroline Bandolik, VP of Production, Spiffy Pictures
I’ve had the joy of working with Jesse for six seasons on Cyberchase, and she amazes me every time. She has a gift for quickly breaking down complex concepts and ideas into something meaningful and accessible for kids (and adults)! Her content briefs are thorough, thoughtful and reliably give our writers and extended production team exactly what they need to bring each episode’s math and environmental themes to life. And beyond her talent, she’s kind, creative, and a wonderfully collaborative partner. Jesse is someone you’ll feel lucky to work with. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
– Melinda Toporoff, Co-Executive Producer, WNET
Jesse brings a rare blend of creativity, story, research, and heart to everything she touches. She collaborates and asks the right questions, and constantly encourages us to elevate our content with purpose. Our shows simply wouldn’t be what they are without her dedication and expertise. If Jesse approves, we know we’re on the right track!
