Jessie Fetterling
Content Strategist

Jessie Fetterling became a travel junkie early on in life when she went on road trips across the United States every year with her family. Being from Kansas City, it was easy to drive somewhat quickly to both coasts, stopping along the way to see Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Canyon or the town where Elvis was born. In college, she studied abroad in Florence, Italy, and turned that love for travel into a career when she started writing for travel publications.

 

She is a published author after writing a guidebook about Oakland, titled "100 Things to Do in Oakland Before You Die," available on Amazon. She has also written travel articles that were published by Marriott Bonvoy Traveler, Where San Francisco, TravelAge West, Prevue, Diablo, Smart Meetings, Money and Hopper.com. Her expertise in group travel writing has taken her everywhere, from South Africa to South Korea to the Caribbean. She loves creating content about food, local cultures, music and environmental awareness.

 

She also has an extensive background in content marketing, currently heading up all things content and communications at Coast, a SaaS startup based in San Francisco, California. She is also a board member for Crisis Support Services of Alameda County. She's particularly passionate about mental health issues and suicide awareness, raising money for the nonprofit as well as writing personal essays to help destigmatize these sensitive topics. She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism and a Bachelor of Arts in English—both from the University of Kansas. Rock Chalk!

Last but not least, Jessie now lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband and two children.
