GMM Corporate Wellness Representative

Jessica E. Parsons
Vice President Good Measure Meals

Jess Parsons is no stranger to the world of health and wellness, and is now taking on the role of Vice President of Good Measure Meals.  As a Georgia Native and daughter of a health care professional and exercise enthusiast, Jess spent much of her life active in outdoor sports, fitness, and healthy eating.  It wasn’t until her studies at Georgia Tech, that Jess started connecting all of the dots and decided that optimizing health promoting behaviors in the community would become a personal mission.  From Georgia Tech, Jess traveled west to pursue her Master’s degree in Exercise and Sport Science at Oregon State University, focusing on Exercise and Sport Psychology, specifically Behavior Modification and prevention of obesity and diabetes in special populations.

 

Parsons worked in the corporate sector before getting back to her wellness roots and taking the position of Director of Corporate Wellness and Interim General Manager of Peachtree Center Athletic Club.  While at PCAC, she partnered with Good Measure Meals to incorporate nutrition into their wellness programing.  Shortly thereafter, Good Measure Meals came calling when they decided to develop a Corporate Wellness program of their own, so Jess came on board in the beginning of 2010 to head that initiative.  Jess has since developed strong relationships around the community in both the corporate and medical sectors and implemented a wide variety of wellness initiatives to promote healthy lifestyles within these populations.  Driven by the Open Hand mission, Parsons hopes to continue to serve our community’s ever growing wellness needs and provide opportunities for everyone to invest in their own health.
