Heather Darst
Co-Founder and President of the Judy Jane Foundation
 

Heather started the Judy Jane Foundation to honor her mom’s legacy and carry forward a mission rooted in joy, connection, and doing good sh*t. She believes that building a better world starts with bringing people together—and she’s all in on creating spaces where that magic can happen.

Whether she’s growing something in the garden or growing big ideas with community partners, Heather leads with heart, purpose, and just enough grit to shake things up. She’s also a loving mom to her son, Vegas, and proud dog-mom to Stella, her loyal sidekick for Dateline marathons.

Just like her mom, she knows the best things in life happen when we gather around the table and show up for each other.
