Jessica Dunson

After graduating with a BA in Telecommunications – Video Production from Ball State University, I worked for a production company that I previously interned with during my senior year of high school. This internship was key to discovering my passion for video and eventually MarCom. As a freelance video editor, I enjoyed the challenge of piecing together video clips into a cohesive and creative story. After a few years in this field, I desired to use my talents to serve my community, leading me to join AmeriCorps VISTA in 2018. AmeriCorps VISTA provided the opportunity to serve in my first MarCom role at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis. Upon completing my year of service, I joined an arts education nonprofit in my hometown of Indianapolis for 3 years as their Marketing and Communications Specialist. As I begin the next chapter of my professional career at NAF, I am excited to use my experience to continue supporting better futures for youth.
