Welcome Jessica Lee!

We are thrilled to welcome our newest staff member - Jessica Lee! Jessica joins us as Program Assistant, responsible for ensuring the smooth flow of clinical, office and program operations. She is a life-long Pacific Northwesterner and attended school in Olympia, WA where she later served as Senior Patient Care Coordinator at Planned Parenthood of Western Washington, until 2006. Jessica then moved to Portland and from 2006-2012 led the Racial Justice & Alliance Building Program, as well as the Youth Organizing program, at Basic Rights Oregon. In addition to her current role as Program Assistant, Jessica is a health sciences student at Portland State University, a consultant to various non-profit organizations and sits on the board of directors at Causa - Oregon’s statewide immigrant rights group. She is especially interested in seeking ways of integrating direct care with systemic change to build and sustain healthy communities in our region and can’t imagine a better place than North by Northeast to do this work. And we can’t imagine a better person to join us in this work. Welcome Jessica!
