I love music and am learning to play the guitar.
PT&E: What do you love doing when you have time off?
JESSICA: I go outside any chance I get! I love being out in the sun, long walks, or posting up at a rooftop restaurant. I also love concerts and social gatherings with friends. I particularly love going to Charleston to visit friends, and being out on the water – you can’t beat fresh seafood!

PT&E: When and how did you know that a career in the events industry was what you wanted to do?

That experience without a doubt was the first time I realized I wanted to be involved in events. I grew to be a promotions director with them and loved the group of people I worked with, and the chaos that led up to the big event. Seeing the event come together and knowing the hard work we all put in behind the scenes to make it possible, that’s when I realized the event industry was the one for me!

They value the people and the quality of life at PT&E and I am so blessed to have a workplace that does and that promotes the same values that I also have.
