Jessica served with the Pennsylvania Mountain Service Corps for two years, 2008 through 2010, doing community outreach and programming for underserved communities through Girl Scouts Western PA. During her service, she helped design and deliver after school programs, activities for girls, and community events that brought together communities. These experiences gave her a front-row seat to nonprofit operations and community engagement, while also instilling a commitment to service that has guided her career.

Building on the skills and values honed during AmeriCorps, Jessica has worked in human services for over 15 years. She has supported youth, families, and adults with disabilities across a variety of programs, always with a focus on equity and access. Today, she is a Strategic Project Manager for a statewide housing and disability organization in Pennsylvania, where she leads initiatives that improve systems, expand opportunities, and strengthen communities. Her AmeriCorps service continues to inspire her belief in the power of collaboration and community-driven change.
