SPEAKER BIO
As a curious, multipassionate edupreneur and lifelong learner who’s been creating innovative opportunities for high performing go-getters for 25+ years, in 40+ countries, doing 65+ different jobs, Jessica lives life full out.
Her portfolio life has consisted of many twists and turns (she was a Canadian Olympic gymnast after all!), which have led to her multi-faceted career as a professor, life design coach, organizer, author, and speaker.
As expressed in Jessica’s children’s book, Kika the Upside-Down Girl, Jessica has been exploring life slightly upside-down, despite the pressure to stay right side-up, and strongly advocates for living a life of creativity, curiosity, and adventure in any direction you choose.
Most recently, Jessica has been helping ambitious go-getters create organized lives they love by decluttering physically and mentally.
Jessica teaches Marketing, Communications, and Strategic Life Skills at Seneca College and is working on her first memoir/self-development book about finding success as a multipassionate portfolioist.
Yoga, metal sculpture, journalling, refurbishing an Airstream and enjoying the Kawartha’s with her family make her fun list.
Want to LEVEL UP your presentation skills with an experienced SPEAKING COACH?
Whether you’re a professional ready to shine at work, a student looking to make a lasting impression, or a go-getter who wants to bring more creativity and fun into your presentations and speeches, I can help!
With over 25 years as an experiential educator, and 10 years as a Presentation Skills & Communications professor at Seneca College, I bring experience, energy, and expertise to each and every coaching opportunity. Will you be next?
When we started, I was so self-conscious, especially about my accent. I didn’t know what to say or how to say it effectively. Jessica helped me form my ideas more clearly, which gave me the confidence to share my ideas. Her enthusiasm and creative ideas make learning fun.” ~ Seneca student
