Jessica comes to Union with over ten years of admissions experience working at both public and private colleges.  Most recently she served as the Director of Admissions for traditional age learners at a private college in Connecticut. 

Jessica received a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Cultural Studies with a concentration in Latin American Studies from Trinity College of Vermont and a Master of Science in Leadership and Business Ethics from Duquesne University.  Pursuing an online graduate program allowed her to work full-time while completing her degree and introduced her to the flexible education options available to adults.

She looks forward to working with prospective learners as they work towards their educational goals at Union Institute & University.
