Jenell Rosa is the program assistant at the Weissberg Foundation, where she provides programmatic, communications, and administrative support to advance the foundation’s mission. Jenell's commitment to democratic values and social justice started at home with family discussions and education on issues of human rights; her work at the Nathan Cummings Foundation allowed her passion for equity to flourish. One of Jenell's favorite quotes (and words to live by) is from Jon Bon Jovi, "nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate." She believes passion is what fuels us to work for the change we believe is possible.

Jenell has a creative soul and loves everything arts related. The Washington, DC native has a passion for fashion, which led her to pursue her BA in Fashion at the Art Institute. In her spare time, she dabbles in pottery, interior design, crafting, and DIY projects. She also enjoys catching up with family and friends, playing with her dog Ziggy, or binging on the latest Netflix series.
