I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Geography and a minor in English.

I grew up in West Chester, Pennsylvania. As a young adult, I was a lieutenant at my local Civil Air Patrol squadron. I was a medic and would teach first aid at our weekly meetings.

After high school graduation, I moved to Alaska for college, and I ended up living there eight years. I learned how to make cheese and yogurt on a local farm. I did a bit of everything in Alaska including babysitting and teaching. One of my fondest memories is going dip net fishing for salmon on the Copper River.

I consider myself a Texan now after living here 13 years. I love kids and love learning.

Jessica’s Early Childhood Memories

Favorite Book as a Young Child

My favorite books growing up were the Amelia Bedelia books. I just thought she was so funny.

Favorite Part of the Day in Preschool

My favorite part of the day was when my dad came home. He always had stories to tell me, and oftentimes candy for me.
