With a Master's degree in Education, Jessica taught 7"' grade for one year in Charlotte. Realizing she didn't have the genetic make-up to teach, she called her mom, who happened to be the #1 Business Developer in the nation year-over-year for the nation’s largest landscape company, ValleyCrest, who helped her get an interview. Jess landed the job in Atlanta where she worked as a business developer for several years. She ranked in the top 5 nationally in sales among 90 Business Developers, not just once, but three times. She  achieved the million-dollar club every year of her employment. Feeling as though she was ready for the next step in her career, she  accepted a position as Associate Area Sales Manager with Cutera, an aesthetic laser company in the medical device market. Jess worked for her Area Sales Manager for 5 months, found numerous opportunities, and brought her manager in to present, when she was promoted to the position herself and subsequently continued to uncover opportunities in the southeast region.

Jess departed Cutera and made the not-so-difficult decision to stay home to raise her son, Canaan and has since had a second child, Evie.

Jessica is passionate about ending homelessness and teaches classes at the Atlanta Day Shelter through Atlanta Mission.
