Jess Gerrior, PhD

Building resilience through joyful collaboration

I am a nonprofit strategist and grant writer dedicated to building resilient social-ecological systems. With a foundation in critical research, teaching, and community food systems, and inspired by principles of agroecology and systems thinking, I love to dig deeper. I translate complex data into compelling narratives that drive funding and nourish organizations for long-term impact.

Let’s collaborate!
