Hey all, I'm Jessiah. I grew up all over the US (CA, NY, NC, AZ, OH), but home is Mendocino, about 3 hours north of the Bay Area.

I have a Master's in English lit and taught English Literature and Theory of Knowledge for most of a decade at international schools in South Korea, China, the UK, Spain, and Germany. I am very much a teacher first, and I really love stories as critical thinking and empathy machines. My love language is sharing movie/TV/book/podcast/stand up/video essay recommendations.

About 3 years ago, I moved back to the states and pivoted to data science. I'm currently doing some engineering and data work for a startup that is using AI to stop seniors from getting scammed over the phone. If you are a no-code person or AI-weary, I do use those tools a lot. Or if you are trying to wrangle some data, I'm happy to do some analysis.

I also coach high school basketball. I'm also a certified life coach. I work specifically with young men needing more meaning and purpose in their lives.

I have done various video projects, but I don't have a pre-existing audience, and I'm pretty against making "content" (and Twitter, fuck Twitter). I typically prefer longer, more detailed video essay type stuff. Ask me about Still Human, my summer camp/retreat. Website: gensilverjess.com; IG: jamellott23.
