Bio

Jessica Soulliere is editor and program director for Mode Shift: Move Together, and a communications officer for the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan. Aside from writing and a passion for all things digital, she's an avid organic gardener with aspirations of running her own organic farm some day.

In her spare time, she helps run YA Salsa!, which seeks to develop and promote salsa dancing in southeast Michigan, and sits on the board of Growing Hope, an Ypsilanti-based organization dedicated to helping people improve their lives and communities through gardening and access to healthy food.

Growing up in southeast Michigan, she's always had a love for Detroit and a keen interest in its revitalization, with special attention to public health issues and promoting the physical and mental well being for all.
