Kelly Jasper

I'm a marketing and communications director with 12+ years building brands, storytelling and thought leadership programs, and high-performing teams for mission-driven organizations. Since 2022, I've led marketing and communications for Arizona State University's Next Education Workforce™ initiative, helping the program grow from a regional pilot into a nationally recognized model for staffing innovation that creates better outcomes for students and teachers alike.

I'm known for turning early-stage ideas into full-functioning programs — building the systems, coaching the people, and telling the stories that drive growth. I've launched a national events series and grown a thought leadership program from early pilots into a full content operation. Along the way, I've helped my team build new skills in project management, analytics, and cross-functional collaboration. I bring a decade of journalism experience to everything I create. My specialty is turning complex work into stories that resonate with the people who need to hear them.
