Jessica’s proudest high school accomplishment was making it to state basketball her senior year!
Her future plans include attending Southeast Community College in Lincoln to obtain an Associate’s Degree in business and then getting her real estate license.
If she could travel anywhere in the world, she would travel to Italy because it would be such a beautiful place to visit and she would love to try authentic Italian food.
Jessica says she does have a bad habit of biting her nails.
In 10-15 years, Jessica sees herself being a successful realtor and running her own brokerage.
This corresponds with the top three goals on her bucket list, which are owning her own real estate brokerage, traveling to another country, and swimming with dolphins.
Jessica has many favorites. Her favorite subject in school is Culinary Arts, her favorite TV show is Yellowstone, her favorite song is “Dawns,” her favorite sports team is the Huskers, and her favorite restaurant is Panera Bread.
The three words that best describe Jessica are determined, energetic, and friendly. Her advice to underclassmen is to “Work hard in school and get involved. These opportunities will make you a better person and may provide opportunities for you in the future. You will never regret being involved!”
Congratulations Jessica and the rest of the class of 2023!
