Jess Blissett

I’m the founder of Sporting Her, where I get to combine my love for women’s sports with all things media and business.

I’m on a mission to shine a spotlight on incredible athletes and give fans a front-row seat to the action. I also love bringing volunteers into the mix, giving them the chance to gain experience, step closer to their dream jobs, or just have fun doing something they’re passionate about.

When I’m not running things behind the scenes, you’ll find me traveling to games, exploring new places, and soaking up all the sports energy I can.

Whether it’s cheering on my favorite team or creating content, I’m all about growing the visibility of women’s sports and making it a blast for everyone involved!
