Jessie Virga
Hey, I'm Jessie.
I'm from the Bronx and spent 10 years in the military in various security roles. After my service, I pursued medicine with a degree in Cognitive Behavioral Neuroscience from UCSD and briefly pursued medical school. Realizing it wasn’t for me, I returned to security work with the DoD and then DHS, earning an MBA and DBA in Homeland Security along the way. I’m now pursuing a PhD in Health Psychology.
My job has always been to protect people, information, and infrastructure.
My hobbies include volunteering for Search and Rescue, working as a part-time EMT (TCCC/TECC), hiking, backpacking, BJJ, & anything that keeps me moving.
I own several businesses including a nonprofit animal welfare organization, K&L Animal Rescue.
I hope to share everything I've learned through my journeys.
