Jessie Roth
Jessie is married to a pilot, has two kids (a daughter and a son) plus a dog who thinks he’s a cheetah. She is a proud mom, an aspiring foodie (which mostly means she likes to eat), an okay-ish musician, and a crafter with an impressive collection of unfinished projects. Jessie and family traded the Knoxville area for Newnan, GA, in 2024 to be closer to family and the Atlanta airport. She’s a Tennessee Vol fan in a sea of Georgia fans, bravely wearing orange while singing “Rocky Top” at the top of her lungs. Jessie and her family love to explore new places, from Zoo Atlanta to the local farmers’ market. They’re taking full advantage of their proximity to the busiest airport in the world by traveling with the enthusiasm of a toddler who’s been promised ice cream. Jessie hopes to document their adventures as they learn all about the local parks, hikes, festivals, and attractions that south Atlanta has to offer.
