I learned a lot about communications, sustainability, and multimedia content creation. Working with Jessica was one of my first jobs. The skills I learned from my work with Jessica for CASA and OKAPI Reusables were very valuable to my current relevant experience and skills in media creation, multimedia storytelling, and community sustainability work. I hope to apply these skills to creating content for the Lettuce Entertainment restaurant company and focus on highlighting various food and entertainment, and experiences that bridge community, dining experiences, and sustainability.

Working with Jessica and having her as a mentor was a very valuable and formative experience for me. The skills I learned from Jessica helped me throughout college since I already had experience in working independently, managing responsibilities, and leading professional and academic projects. Her dedication and strong work ethic are shown in every project she works on, which inspires everyone to give their best.

While working with Jessica for OKAPI Reusables and Community Action for a Sustainable Alameda (CASA), I was able to see how dedicated and passionate she is, and how she never fails to positively influence those around her. She not only taught me lessons about sustainable practices and the importance of community engagement, but also soft skills like communication, confidence, and time management which I use routinely in my academic and personal life in college. Since then I’ve had the pleasure of working with her on an additional project for CASA, where she’s only further demonstrated her ability to bring people together for a better future.
