Jessie Hulsebus
Originally from northern Illinois, Jessie moved to central Massachusetts in April of 2020 with her husband Brian and two dogs Sadie and Gracie. Her little Valentine, Lucy, was born on February 14, 2022. She is currently working full-time as a Senior Administrative Assistant for a staffing agency in Waltham, MA. In her spare time, Jessie enjoys baking, reading, and making handmade soap, although she has not had the opportunity to make soap since moving to Massachusetts. Her favorite things about living in central Massachusetts are the orchards open year-round and the beautiful landscapes.
Jessie is looking forward to being a part of Central Mass Mom and believes that moms everywhere deserve a support system whether it be online or in the community.
