Jessica joined the KWQC team as the Noon Anchor/Morning Reporter in November 2006. In fact, her first day on the job earned her an award from the Iowa Broadcasters Association for Spot News Coverage.

A Wisconsin native, Jessica grew up about 20 minutes from Milwaukee in Elm Grove. She graduated from Indiana University with degrees in Journalism, Spanish, and Sociology. While still in college, she interned in the investigative unit at WISN-TV in Milwaukee.

Two days after graduation, she started her broadcast career with a quick stint as a "one-woman band" reporter at an ABC station in West Virginia. The station then promoted her to weekend anchor.

Looking to learn more, Jessica later accepted a position at WXOW, the ABC affiliate in La Crosse, Wisconsin. She started as a general assignment reporter before management promoted her to the weekend anchor slot.

During her time in La Crosse, the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association also recognized Jessica's work for excellence in reporting. She spent two years in La Crosse before deciding it was time for a new challenge.

She found what she was looking for at KWQC. Jessica says, "This is a wonderful opportunity and I'm so thankful to be here. From my neighbors next door to the people at the grocery store, everyone has made me feel more than welcome."
