Jessica was born and raised in Southern New Hampshire. She never thought that missions would be part of her life.

In her mid-teens she had the opportunity to be trained for children's ministry through Child Evangelism Fellowship. It was there that the Lord  started to speak to her softly about missions. She looks back and see that Lord was using the children's ministry training to open the next door in her life and to also be better equipped to minister to children even still now.

Jessica went down to Pittsburgh, PA to help them with the Joshua Generation that they run in the summers. It was there that she learned about Discipleship Training School. She know that, that was something the Lord was calling her to do. She moved down to Pittsburgh's the following January. On her school's outreach she went to Poland, Romania, & Hungary.She graduated and came right on board as full time staff with YWAM.

That following fall she helped staff the Discipleship Training School. It was time for her to step up into a new level of leadership. When that school finished she went back to full time staff. Her heart is still for children. But she also has a heart to nurture people of any age.

Jessica works as an administrative assistant to the director and helps to coordinate the Joshua Generation ministry for teens.
