Jessica received her bachelors degree in special education from Brigham Young University and worked as an RBT as well as a special education teacher. During her teaching years, she was also the behavior specialist. These experiences gave Jessica robust opportunities to excel in IEP coordination, creating and implementing goals, and collaboration with teachers.  While she loved the classroom and working with her students, she longed to help children in a more individualized way as well as support their families as they advocated for them.

Jessica was able to get her masters degree and Certification in Behavior Analysis and realize those dreams.

Joining BridgeCare as a BCBA has allowed Jessica to advocate and support families through the highs and lows of caring for those they love. What she appreciates most about BridgeCare is their commitment to quality care and their attention to the families they serve.
