Jessica joined the KTK staff in September 2014 as the center’s cook. Before discovering her passion for the culinary arts, she spent eight years as a hairstylist. Her experience working in a children’s hair salon inspired a career change, leading her to pursue something she enjoyed even more than styling—cooking.
Prior to joining KTK, Jessica served as a cook at Pooh Bear Childcare for three years, where she further developed her skills in preparing nutritious, child-friendly meals.
Jessica lives in Madison with her husband, Adam, and their two beloved cats, Sam and Mack. Outside of the kitchen, she enjoys spending time with family and friends. Her summers are filled with camping trips and cheering on the Brewers, while fall and winter are reserved for supporting the Packers and Wisconsin Badger football and basketball teams.
