Her first 11 years as a counselor were spent in alternative education, helping students jump their various hurdles and reach their goal of graduation. She recently switched gears and is now at a comprehensive high school in the District. Working with students in both types of school settings has given Jessica an insight and a special appreciation for the role that counselors can play in the function of a school. She has been a member of the High School Leadership Cadre through the Guidance department for 3 years and represents Other Licensed Professionals with CCEA, both to help promote the counselor position and to advocate for and support the movement to comprehensive school counseling programs in our schools.
