Jenna Rissien
Jenna is a California girl with Midwest manners, East Coast style, and a splash of European flavor. Raised in Los Angeles she moved onto the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she graduated with a major in International Studies. She put that degree to the test by working in France and Spain for a year after school. Seeking a new adventure, she moved to New York City where she worked in media and luxury marketing. While she enjoyed managing events for New York’s fashion and foodie culture, she happily traded it for Manischewitz and menorahs. As Program Manager for Birthright Israel Alumni Community/JEC, Jenna is responsible for coordinating various volunteer and networking initiatives.
