Jessie is a Vice President with CAC Specialty in the Transactional Liability Practice focusing on Representations & Warranty Insurance (R&W) and specifically on insured-friendly policy language.

She developed a passion for insurance, specifically on the policyholder side, working for a boutique insurance consulting firm focused on private equity real estate insurance in the Boston area. This experience prompted law school and a move to Washington, DC.

She was a public-school teacher for four years, including two years with Teach For America in the San Francisco bay area.
