Jessica was born in Idaho but has called Oklahoma home for most of her life — at least until she sold nearly everything she owned and took a leap to New York City. Starting over in a new place was both exciting and daunting, yet it reignited the adventurous streak that’s shaped so much of her life. Motherhood, community service and a genuine love for helping others continue to anchor her no matter where she lands.

Jessica is also a committed traveler who’s explored everywhere from Spain and Scotland to Thailand, Mexico, Iceland and Fiji, plus plenty of points in between. She’ll tell you she can’t pick a favorite because there’s something incredible in every place she’s been.

When she’s not organizing (which she truly enjoys) or finding ways to make someone’s day easier, you’ll probably find her discovering her new city one park at a time. She’s happiest on long walks with an audiobook or planning the next trip on her ever-growing list.
