Jessi Winkler

Jessi has her Bachelors in Psychology and Masters in Social Work from Valdosta State University. She is a licensed social worker in the state of Georgia, where she is a lifelong resident. Jessi is a diehard fan of the Falcons, Braves, and Dawgs, which means she’s either loyal to a fault, or incurably foolish. Jessi is married and is the mother of two boys. She is active in her children’s schools and also volunteers with a local hospice, a developmental disability center, and various community outreaches when she is able. She is a two-time gestational surrogate and remains close with the family she has helped.

“I am passionate about kindness. I may not be able to easily change the world, but I try to change someone’s day as often as I can. Professionally, I am passionate about being there for the surrogates I work with. I never want them to feel like a name on a checklist or a number in a file. I’m here and will listen. My goal is for every one of them to end their surrogacy journey with no regrets and nothing but joy.”
