Jessica is a transfer junior Public Relations major from Salem, Oregon. You’ll find Jessica listening to old style jazz, you know, like the music from those old black and white films. Jessica is a big fan of dark chocolate. But not just dark chocolate, more like SUPER dark chocolate. If you’re ever on campus, look for a girl in blue, grey or striped apparel and a big smile on her face!
