About
The Nerdy Chaos Curator Behind Nerdy Retreat
Hi, I'm Jesi — 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.)

As Atlanta’s neighborhood curator, I spotlight the food that’s actually worth the hype. Not just what’s viral, but what’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 it’s a hidden gem or a hot new opening, I turn every post into a narrative that feels personal — & unforgettable.
