Jessica Turner

Communications Assistant

Jessica joined the Sojourners team in September 2012 as the communications assistant. Prior to joining Sojourners, Jessica spent one year as a member of the Episcopal Service Corps in Baltimore. During her year of service, she realized her passion for advocacy and activism.

Growing up as a military child Jessica has lived in many places, but calls North Carolina home. A graduate of Elon University in May 2011, she credits her college’s emphasis on service learning with sparking her interest in social justice.

Jessica enjoys traveling, reading, listening to music, and volunteering around the city.
