Jessica Holt

Jessica joined the GMRI Finance Team in June of 2026 as the Post Award Grants Accountant, bringing over a decade of nonprofit and museum experience, most recently as Assistant Director for the Art Museum of South Texas. In her role, she supports the post-award process by tracking budgets, providing financial reporting, and ensuring federal compliance, blending her love for numbers with her passion for mission-driven work. She holds a BA in Studio Art/Photography from the University of New Hampshire and an MFA in Historic Preservation from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

After 15 years away, Jessica is thrilled to return to her New England roots and be closer to family. She is excited to introduce her daughter and Texan husband to everything the changing seasons have to offer. Ironically, she and her husband met years ago during overlapping family summers in Maine!

When not in the office, you can find Jessica with her husband chasing their toddler and two naughty dogs around the coast (aka exploring), perpetuating their joint thrifting problem, setting up fun art projects, or simply enjoying a book by an open window while said toddler climbs all over her.
