Jessica most recently worked as an Academic Impact Tutor at RYSS P-Stem Academy, a University of Houston partner school. In that role, she supported a bilingual first-grade classroom with phonics instruction and reading comprehension. She also brings customer service experience from her time at Panera Bread, where she learned how to connect thoughtfully with others. Jessica plans to pursue an alternative teacher certification as she continues building her career in education.
In her free time, Jessica enjoys spending time at libraries, parks, coffee shops, and thrift stores. One of her favorite spots is Carino Coffee in Downtown Houston, where she loves their iced mazapan latte. These quiet, cozy spaces help her recharge and stay inspired.
Jessica’s favorite core value is Roll Up Your Sleeves (and Own It). She believes meaningful goals require effort, persistence, and accountability along the way. For her, owning mistakes and learning from them is an essential part of personal growth and long-term success.
