Tess is a Creation Justice Fellow volunteering with Brethren Volunteer Service and will serve at CJM for one year. She is passionate about activism and public speaking, which stemmed from her experience as a student school board representative in High School. She is originally from south-central Pennsylvania, and after her year in DC, she will attend the University of New Hampshire. In her free time, Tess enjoys going outside, camping, baking, and spending time with her friends and family.
