Jessi Rositas (Ziegler) Kincaid is a 2005 graduate from St. Johns High School. She attended the University of Michigan, where she double majored in Women's Studies and Communication Studies. She works at Google, where she has been for over 10 years. During that time, she has consulted with hundreds of businesses on digital strategy and marketing. She currently works on Google's US Elections team. Her husband, Jason Kincaid, is a Fitbit employee and started at the company in 2011 when it was still a small startup. He is from Owosso and attended Michigan State University and Eastern Michigan University where he got his degree in Business. While Jessi and Jason took very different paths, they both feel that grit, perseverance, and drive were the characteristics that got them to where they are today (with a big dash of luck thrown in, too). They started this scholarship to help students from St. Johns who have shown a passion for business to continue on in the field.
