Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, Jessica worked as an airplane mechanic, flight attendant instructor, automotive mechanic, and insurance adjuster. While each of these roles was meaningful in its own way, they ultimately led her to seek a deeper sense of purpose. Her background in mechanical systems became an unexpected foundation for nursing: shaping her understanding that multiple systems work together to support overall function, and when one area is impaired or , it can impact the whole, much like the human body and mind.

Today, she finds fulfillment in supporting individuals on their path toward wellness. She has experience providing psychiatric medication management and brief therapy across residential, inpatient, and outpatient settings, with a primary focus on children, adolescents, and autistic individuals of all ages. Her approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. Whether someone is beginning medication for the first time or adjusting an existing plan, she aims to provide thoughtful, supportive care.
