Executive Board

Jessica Wolf is currently serving as director of arts communications and marketing for UCLA Strategic Communications, working to support the academic and public entities that educate emerging artists and celebrate and perpetuate arts and culture throughout our campus community and beyond. A writer, editor, communications strategist and practicing (albeit decidedly amateur) visual artist, she joined UCLA 15 years ago as communications manager for UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance. Prior to her current role, she served for seven years as the primary Strategic Communications writer and publicist for the social sciences at UCLA with an emphasis on the people and programs that animate UCLA’s unique Institute of American Cultures. She began her career as an entertainment business reporter covering Hollywood’s transition to digital media in the early 2000s. Her original shift into public relations and communications at a leading boutique entertainment PR agency in Los Angeles led her to work with such major brands as National Geographic, Cartoon Network and Sony Electronics as well as television executives, digital infrastructure companies, web startups and early-Internet-era digital and entertainment content creators.
