As a communications staffer in the Senate and as press secretary to former Representative Harry Teague (NM-2), Jessica drove long-term communications strategy by spearheading radio outreach, creating district events, building relationships with the media, and mastering cutting-edge social media advocacy on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, and Google +.  

A New Mexico native, Jessica moved to Washington, D.C. after graduating from New Mexico State University where she received a B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communications.  Her senior year, PR News named Jessica one of their national P.R.
