Jessie is a Florida Native, growing up Boca Raton and moving to Tampa in 2000 for her undergraduate studies. While attending the University of South Florida, Jessie studied abroad in Costa Rica and eventually graduated with a double major: B.A. in Philosophy & B.A. in Political Science. In 2006, she was offered a scholarship from Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, FL, where she graduated with a Juris Doctorate in 2009. During law school, Jessie interned with the ACLU, worked at Learn to Read, a local non-profit advocating for adult literacy, and was chosen by the Florida Coastal Academic Success Department to mentor incoming students on how to be successful in law school.
Jessie is a member of the Florida Bar, Tax Section, National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), CERCA, and National Tax Practice Institute Fellowship. She is a leading voice within the tax resolution community. Most recently she was asked to teach continuing education courses for the National Association of Accountancy (NSA) and be a lead Instructor at both national conferences for NAEA. She has also served as an adjunct professor teaching various courses including Business Law, State and Local Taxation, Contemporary Business Ethics, and an exam preparation class for the Enrolled Agents Examination. Jessie truly has a passion for tax controversy work and found her passion in this niche field because it is ever-evolving, applicable to all, and in many cases unfairly enforced. As the daughter of small business owners, she is especially passionate about helping business owners understand and overcome their tax challenges. Jessie even helped form and operate a pro bono tax resolution clinic in North Florida to assist those taxpayers who simply could not afford to hire professional representation for IRS and state tax issues.
