Jessie looks forward to bringing the professional skills she has developed since graduation to the school that she loves so much.

"I am excited to help develop a robust and thriving alumni program that maximizes the potential of Pepperdine Law alumni, propels graduates into successful careers, and gives back to the legal communities in Los Angeles and across the world," Fahy says.
