Director of Digital

Jessica Jewell is the Water Hub’s Digital Director with 12+ years of marketing and communications experience.

Some narratives she’s built power around include environmental policy, historic underinvestment and environmental racism, connecting the dots between food and climate, protecting wildlands, elevating community voices, and the power of green infrastructure.

Before joining in 2021, she led digital efforts for One Meal a Day for the Planet, an initiative of James Cameron and Suzy Amis Cameron. She also served as TreePeople’s Director of Marketing and Communications, where she worked at the intersection of media, events, influencers and celebrity partnerships, and digital to support LA County’s water supply, urban cooling, climate adaptation, volunteer storytelling, and environmental education.

Jessica is currently an advisory board member for Friends of the LA River. Before, she sat on the board of Connectopod, empowering youth with the skills to tell stories through podcasting. She’s also consulted for the National Institutes of Health’s Enhance Science project, dedicated to increasing diversity in STEM for budding scientists.

She’s also a published co-author, contributing to the first anthology written by and for social justice communicators, Liberation Stories: Building Narrative Power for 21st Century Social Movements, released in 2025 by The New Press.

Prior to joining the climate movement in 2014, Jessica cut her teeth at PETA where she worked on celebrity campaigns and marketing efforts.

Jessica lives with her two dogs, cat, and husband in Los Angeles County. When she’s not working, you can find her making a mess in her kitchen, looking to the sky to admire trees everywhere, reluctantly flipping vinyl on her record player, or between the pages of a horror novel.
