Jess Blackshaw (she/her)

Jess joined YCore in Winter 2018 as a fellow working with 826 Valencia. Prior to joining the team full time, she worked across the Bay at Net Impact, where she managed case competitions, design sprints, and event content to inspire and equip emerging social impact leaders. Jess holds an MA in Iberian and Latin American Cultures and a BA in Philosophy and Literature from Stanford. When she’s not thinking about the ethics of citizenship, service, and social justice, you can find her running the SF hills, singing in public, or buying excessive amounts of seasonal fruit.
