Jessi Weeks

My guest today and I have never met but her first season was in Club Med Sandpiper in February of 2007 as a Mini Club G.O. Please help me welcome, from London, Ontario (and not England as I discovered), Jessi Weeks! Jessi was going to Fanshawe College in Ontario and she applied to Club Med on a student contract to satisfy her Co-op requirements for College. Jessi had her Club Med interview in the most Canadian of all places, you guessed it, a Tim Horton’s! Jessi held many positions during her time in Club Med from 2007-2016: Mini Club/Teen Club, Boutique, Landsports, Lifeguard Supervisor, Animation Manager, and Animation/Sports Manager. She even worked in the ski village of Club Med Yabuli, China from November 2014 to March 2015 (and yes, we will talk about that experience). Jessi is an amazing singer, so we cover her musical influences and how she got into singing. Jessi also helps me introduce a new segment to MFS called, “Harmonize with Hannah”. She has too many stories to cover in only 45 minutes, but we did have time to talk about hosting the tour group "Olivia" for 2 weeks in Punta Cana, being terrorized by wild monkeys in Cherating, Malaysia, to having emergency appendicitis surgery in the Dominican Republic without a translator, and to having to play charades to communicate with the Chinese G.M’s in Club Med Yabuli, China. **My First Season podcast has always been free to listen to and is available on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Podbean App, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM and Listen Notes.
