Meet Team KDD

Jess Mendes

Marketing Strategist

Originally from Westchester, Jess discovered her love for the Hudson Valley at SUNY New Paltz, where she earned a BA in Digital Media and a minor in Creative Writing.

A storyteller at heart, she has a versatile skill set, with experience in content strategy, social media, SEO, and more. Her work spans industries—from major internet providers to vegan cookbooks—and she thrives on embracing new challenges and learning along the way.

When she’s not click-clacking away on a computer, you can find Jess collecting vinyl, camping, playing guitar, or obsessing over her two pitbulls, Andy and Junior. Her ultimate bucket list goal? To drive to Alaska.
