Jessie Dromsky-Reed

Born and raised in Kinnelon, New Jersey, Jessie has been immersed in New Jersey’s performing arts her whole life. She grew up studying dance in the New Jersey School of Ballet’s Intensive Program and had the privilege of dancing with the New Jersey Ballet Company’s Junior Company at NJPAC and MPAC.  Also, she played her French horn in the New Jersey School Music Association’s (NJSMA) Region Bands throughout high school and has studied piano her whole life.

Jessie brought her love of the arts with her to Hamilton College, where she was principle French horn in the Hamilton College Orchestra, captain of the Hamilton College Dance Team, and co-founder and co-president of the Hamilton College Wind Ensemble. She graduated from Hamilton with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Russian Studies. Her senior thesis in Russian Studies analyzed the way in which ballet can and has been used as a tool for international diplomacy between the United States and Russia and can foster communication and connections between people.

After college, Jessie took some time to study musical theater performance in New York City before joining the communications team at Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts.  When she is not working, you can find Jessie on stage in community theater productions around northern New Jersey.

Now at SOPAC as the Membership and Marketing Associate, Jessie is excited to be sharing SOPAC’s mission and programing with its members. She oversees member communications, maintains SOPAC’s website, and plans receptions and special events at SOPAC.  She is thrilled to be part of such a hard-working team devoted to celebrating and promoting the arts in New Jersey!
