About Me.
I'm Jessie Virga, originally from the South Bronx—a place that taught me all about grit, determination, and resilience. I often say I'm just a girl from the South Bronx, but really, my story is one of tenacity and a deep passion to lift others as I climb.
I served nearly a decade in the U.S. Navy, a chapter of my life filled with pride and profound love for the service. I would have stayed longer if other adventures hadn’t called my name.
Community is huge for me. I volunteer with the local Search & Rescue team and work with the Sheriff's Office to help keep things safe. I'm also a big animal lover, which you can tell by my rescued dogs, King and Legend. When I need to recharge, you’ll find me outdoors—hiking, biking, or just soaking in the beauty of nature.
Entrepreneurship is in my blood. I run a few businesses that mirror my interests: Mulier Bellator Security, for my expertise in security and safety; Mulier Bellator Fitness and Valkyrie Nutrition, which reflect my passion for health and wellness; and Entrepreneur Headquarters, where I channel my business savvy.
I like to think of myself as that rose that grew from concrete, nurtured by a strong and wise mentor who helped me navigate life’s complex paths.
Education has always been a cornerstone of my growth. I have my MBA and DBA in Homeland Security and PhD in Health Psychology. I’m also certified in personal training, nutrition, and security, which just adds to my diverse set of skills.
My mantra is simple: "uplift and be uplifted." It’s the essence of my journey, showing just how much you can achieve with passion, purpose, and a bit of perseverance.
