Jessica Herman

Director of Customer Service at The Perfect Jean

I really wanted to be a nurse but didn't want to get through all of that schooling, so for now I just like helping people through Customer Service and building out passionate and successful teams. Plus I love the thrill of a janky startup.

I started my career at Rent the Runway as an agent and then eventually moved onto overseeing their training and development program. After that I gained my true start-up experience at KIDBOX, a kid's clothing subscription box company, where I learned the true meaning of being resourceful.

My hobbies include:

1) Seeing how much wine I can drink without getting a hangover

2) Replacing all of my tv watching with watching random YouTube videos

3) Veganizing things like Big Macs and Buffalo pizza

4) My new fav hobby of pretending I'm not too old to be making TikToks
