JESSICA’S LIFE EXPERIENCE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Jessica’s first experience in business was around the age of 10 when her mother opened a second-hand store.

Her mother said customers were always shocked at her capabilities as a youth. Jessica’s first real job was washing dishes at Granny’s Café in Drexel, Missouri.

In 2005 she received her cosmetology license she worked in a few salons but eventually opened an in-home salon so she could have more balance between home and work. Jessica obtained her license to sell real estate nearly 16 years ago and went to work shortly thereafter with a small brokerage in Pleasant Hill.
