Jessica lives in Broomfield with her husband and two young children. Despite extensive experience as a mascot, with stints as “Little George” for her alma mater, The George Washington University, and “Wendy” for the fast-food chain, these days Jessica makes a living as a writer and communications hack – but hasn’t given up hope that one day the Denver Nuggets or Rockies will call in need of a backup mascot. When she’s not at the soccer field or chasing her children around, you can find her on day trips to nearby towns, exploring local trails and family-friendly festivals and activities. Or, on the (very) rare occasion both kiddos are actually napping at the same time, you can find her in the sunshine in her backyard enjoying a cold Colorado brew.
