Hey, I'm Jessica

I’m a designer with 20+ years of experience, but it’s my work at the CDC that showed me creativity can fuel public good. Now I’m flipping the script by pursuing a master’s degree in Interactive Media and Communications at Quinnipiac. My mission? Moving beyond design and discovering new ways to use my skills for good.
