Our
Captain

Dr. Jessica White is a passionate educator. She began her career in education via a year-long service with The New Teacher Project, a non-profit organization that ensures that impoverished and minority youths have access to high-quality education, and AmeriCorps, a national community service organization that strives to improve our diverse communities. It has since been her life’s work to guide and inspire students to achieve their greatest potential regardless of their circumstances. In her career, she has served thousands of students across the country of all ages and abilities in K-12, university, and graduate-level capacities.
