Jessica Álamo Pomales was born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, and raised in Chicago’s historic Puerto Rican community of Humboldt Park, where her bilingual upbringing and Latino church roots shaped her passion for faith, justice, and community. She holds a Master of Theological Studies from McCormick Theological Seminary and brings over 20 years of experience in ministry, education, and leadership, including 15 years as a healthcare chaplain.
Now living in Florida, Jessica feels called to mentor young adults as they explore faith, identity, and purpose. She is also the author of Four Friends: Beach Day at the Museum (Soaring Kite Books, 2024).
