Jessica joined the Hope House staff in September 2023. Prior to working at Hope House, Jessica spent five years working in the foster care system where she truly fell in love with working with teen girls. Having always worked in child care in some shape or form, she loves working with teen moms at Hope House as she builds relationships with them and walks alongside them through life’s joys and hardships. In her first year on staff at Hope House, Jessica held the position of lead residential advisor where she was able to partner with and champion teen moms as they lived in the residential house and worked to transition to safe housing as they grew in self-sufficiency. In 2025, Jessica transitioned to the role of kitchen manager at the Hope House Early Learning Center where she is able to combine her passion of cooking quality food for people with the mission of supporting teen moms and their children. When she is not working, Jessica enjoys running her small business, strength training, playing volleyball, playing music and cooking. Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, she has called Denver home for a little over a year now.
