Outside of her professional career, Jessica is deeply committed to her community. She assisted in launching a special needs ministry at Northcrest Baptist Church called Limitless, creating an inclusive space of worship for families with exceptional abilities. She began work in the ministry as a weekly “buddy,” Volunteer Coordinator and Parent Liasion before transitioning to her continued, current roles of Family Liaison and weekly “buddy”. She also serves as a board member and consultant for a local nonprofit called The Spot, who serve families with children with special needs.
