About Me
Jess believes anyone can be an expert on any topic. It's a matter of what they're willing to learn and do. Jess earned a B.A. in Economics from UC Davis and has California teaching credentials in math, economics, science, and physical education. And what do these credentials mean? Absolutely nothing.

Jess is currently the lead math instructor for a school district; has co-published a book; edits fiction and non-fiction; has given seminars and workshops on investments, health, business, and teaching; and enjoys developing games. What's next? Whatever inspires Jess the most.
