Jessica was born and raised in the Fox Valley. She grew up in a Christian home and gave her life to the Lord at a young age! As a teenager, Jessica loved serving in the nursery of her church and teaching object lessons in a large group setting in children's church. After graduating high school, Jessica moved to Miami, FL to attend a two-year Bible College. Shortly after graduating she married her husband JR in 2006. For the first three years of their marriage, they worked in full-time ministry traveling across the country. They moved to Appleton to be close to family when they were expecting their first child in 2009. They now have 3 beautiful children! Jessica and her family started attending Alliance Church in 2012. The next year, Jessica began volunteering in Awana. Jessica served as a volunteer in Awana for 8 years before accepting the position of K-2 Awana Coordinator. She loves the Sparks program and watching kids grow in their faith! 

When not at church, Jessica loves being with her family and friends. She enjoys spending time on walking trails, at her kids' sporting events, kayaking, or having fun game nights!
