Jessica is new to the Partnership and was brought on in 2018. She has been working in graphic design and marketing for 9 years after graduating from Troy University with a double major in graphic design and photography. She has a passion for design and social media that she is ready to bring to the table. Upon her being hired, she re-branded the organization by updating the website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter. She hopes to grow the followers on all accounts to bring more awareness to parents and teenagers about the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Jessica is a firm believer that the hard conversations start at home and she is passionate about working with parents to continue telling kids the truth about drugs, alcohol, and smoking. She has studied about the different types of substances on the streets today and hopes that she can use that knowledge to keep kids away from them.
