Carrie Jesse stands next to a trail in an open space in Colorado.

Hi, I’m Carrie.

I care about work that helps people find purpose, keep learning, and become more themselves.

That’s what has drawn me to experiences in education, fitness, endurance sports, writing, and technology.

Different chapters, always guided by the same curiosity: What helps people grow?

A Glimpse into How I Think

I ask “why?” more than any other question. It helps me get my bearings.

Whether I’m leading a project, crafting a personal essay, or training for an endurance event, I like to know where I stand before deciding where I’m going.

It’s an approach that influences how I solve problems, build systems, and work with people.

Create clarity.

I enjoy untangling complexity. By listening and asking good questions, I turn ideas into plans people can understand and act on.

Be thoughtful.

The best systems are built with care and intention. I think about the whole experience and how each step supports forward movement.

Put people first.

I’m an athlete and a coach. Whether I’m contributing to a project or supporting a team, my goal is to help people do their best work.

A Little
More About Me

Coaching

I’ve coached many endurance athletes, but helping adults learn to swim is still my favorite. I also have a B.S. in Health and Exercise Science and an M.S. in Exercise Physiology.

Life

Most days include taking my dog for a walk, listening to an audiobook, working on a crochet project, and heading out for a hike, trail run, or swim.

Technology

When it comes to online projects, I know just enough about front-end development to be dangerous.

Writing

You’ll usually find about seven paper journals and notebooks scattered around my house. I write personal essays and reflections inspired by endurance sports, lifelong learning, and self-discovery.

Training

Being an endurance athlete has taught me that growth and improvement never happen all at once.

Swimming

I’ve been a swimmer since I was six. And if I had to choose, I’d be a sea turtle. Or a shark.

Say Hi

If you’re working on something that helps people continue learning, find meaning, or discover something about themselves, I’d love to hear about it.

Or just say hello.
