About Jessica Gildea
I’m a multidisciplinary professional with experience spanning marketing, sales, education, and media storytelling. My work focuses on connecting people—to ideas, to communities, and to meaningful experiences. I began my career in consulting, communications, and sales, developing a strong foundation in client relations, strategic messaging, and business development. Over time, my work evolved toward education and community-building, where I designed and led youth programs, camps, and experiential learning environments. As the founder of Makin Waves, I built a swim instruction program centered on water safety, confidence, and personal growth for children and families. I also work in video and media production, capturing live events and helping organizations share their stories in authentic ways. A lifelong learner and global traveler, I’m passionate about projects that combine storytelling, education, and mission-driven community impact.
