Jessica has a sincere passion for photography and hopes to encompass this love into her journalistic pursuits. She feels that visually capturing a moment is just as important as telling the story with words. She does her best to do so, while utilizing artistic composition and appeal.

Outside school and work, Jessica can usually be found spending time with her family and dog. Some of her favorite hobbies aside from writing and photography are bicycling, reading, and collecting antiques and old photographs.
