Teachstone‘s magic happens in the classroom, but it’s on the web that customers learn what makes us—and the CLASS system—truly magical. Jessica‘s job is to help Teachstone connect with our online audience, whether they’re reading our blog, visiting our website, shopping our online store, or staying up to date with our monthly newsletter. She spends her workdays tinkering with words, images, and the occasional HTML tag and her after hours attempting yoga poses, hanging with friends, and voraciously reading e-book samples.
Growing up surrounded by farms, and not much else, in rural Pennsylvania instilled in Jessica an appreciation for simplicity—aesthetic and otherwise. It also made her eager for culture and stimulation, which she finds just the right amount of in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Jessica holds an MA in English from the University of Virginia and a BS in Philosophy from Mary Baldwin College.
