Want to discover how an unexpected job offer can change the trajectory of your career? Join us as we sit down with Jessi Marsh, the Senior Director of Creative Strategy at Dickerson Baker, who went from dreaming of a career in advertising to leading impactful nonprofit initiatives. Jessi’s journey takes us through her early days in volunteer coordination and case management, a life-altering move to Seattle, and her eventual return to Pittsburgh, where she now combines her advertising skills with nonprofit missions. Her story not only highlights the rewarding unpredictability of nonprofit work but also offers a unique perspective on integrating diverse skill sets to drive mission-driven success.
