Jessica received her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration – Marketing from Wichita State University in 2003. Before joining the Chamber, she worked as a program planner with Exploration Place and planned and administered continuing education with the Kansas Bar Association. She is involved with the Big Brothers Big Sisters Bigs in School Program, The Kansas Health Foundation’s Kansas Community Leadership Initiative, the Sedgwick County Zoo and Ascension Lutheran Church.

A native Wichitan and active YP, Jessica has a deep passion for her home community and her professional peer network. YPW is a powerful platform for young talent to become involved in our community and Jessica shares and will aggressively pursue our vision to make Wichita the heartland’s destination for young intellectual capital.
