Jess Allison joined the Melanoma Research Foundation in September 2022. Jess works with our corporate partners to fund every collaboration opportunity offered by the MRF. She is also working with the melanoma community to identify new, strategic partnerships to maximize the impact from the corporate realm. Prior to joining the MRF, Jess worked as a Campaign Development Director for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night campaign. Jess is a graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara and was raised in the central Sierra Nevada mountains of California. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, cooking, trying new restaurants, listening to true crime and comedy podcasts, and exploring Washington DC’s neighborhoods on foot. She is the proud step-mom to Abi, who is a freshman at Texas Tech in the School of Architecture. Jess and her husband, Chaz, live on Capitol Hill with their two elderly, cranky cats, Clementine and Madeline, and their cuddly pit-bull/cattle dog mix, Poppy.
