​ A Disney fanatic and former cosmetics executive, Jessica takes to heart these two quotes:

 “Leave it better than you found it.” Bruce Nordstrom

and

“Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do.” Walt Disney

 

In her spare time, Jessica is passionate about animal rescue, music, and (of course) Disney. She also enjoys painting and reading. When she is not rallying for mental health wellness, she can be found with her husband Greg, their rescue dog Faith, and cats Raine and Blue.
