About

The Nerdy Chaos Curator Behind Nerdy Retreat

Hi, I'm Jesi โ€” Atlanta-based creator, social media strategist, & unapologetic neighborhood obsessive. By day, I run digital strategy for an Atlanta nonprofit. By every other waking hour, I'm eating my way through the city, spoiling my dog to patio life, & turning hidden gems into must-visits.

My platform Nerdy Retreat is where curious locals, loyal explorers, & brand partners come to find the Atlanta that doesn't show up on the tourist brochures.

Real recs. Real stories. Real chaos. (The good kind.)

โœจ Letโ€™s Work Together

I partner with brands, restaurants, + creators to craft storytelling-driven campaigns that actually connect. With a background in digital strategy & a sharp eye for what makes content convert, I bring both creative direction & marketing know-how to every project.

Looking to collaborate on authentic, engaging content?
Letโ€™s make something!

  • As Atlantaโ€™s neighborhood curator, I spotlight the food thatโ€™s actually worth the hype. Not just whatโ€™s viral, but whatโ€™s meaningful.

    My audience craves more than a plate pic; they want to know the story behind the dish, the chef, & the community that makes it matter.

    Whether itโ€™s a hidden gem or a hot new opening, I turn every post into a narrative that feels personal โ€” & unforgettable.
