Jessica
Jessica received a BA in biology with a minor in history from CU Boulder and a MA in English from Oregon State, where she taught college freshman composition. Using knowledge from both degrees, Jessica worked as a technical editor for a scientific magazine in Oregon and later as a medical editor in Boulder. As a freelance writer and editor, she wrote articles for Boulder Magazine as well as edited texts of various genres, university program accreditation documents, historical panels, poetry journals, and novels. She is currently writing a memoir on the struggles of raising children while simultaneously caring for aging parents with dementia. Jessica cofounded and acted as a primary instructor for Mitchell Elementary’s former K-6 English Club with the objectives of providing a sense of community for ESL students, and she currently works as a Jeffco Public Schools guest teacher in various subjects, including language arts, science, music, art, as well as French and Spanish. Jessica’s French and English bilingual background allows her to empathize with students overcoming differences and validate their need for academic support. As a tutor since 2017, Jessica prides herself in listening to and being patient with students of all ages and encourages them to express concerns regarding their studies, especially when reading and writing in any subject. She believes truly comprehending a student's particular approach to learning leads to breakthroughs not only in completion of projects but also in augmenting self-esteem and pride in work ethic.
