SPEAKER BIO
As a curious, multi-passionate edupreneur and lifelong learner who’s been creating innovative opportunities for ambitious go-getters for 25+ years, in 65+ jobs in 40+ countries, Jessica believes in living life to the fullest, no matter what others say.
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, facilitator, and motivational speaker.
As expressed in her children’s book, Kika the Upside-Down Girl, Jessica has chosen to explore the upside-down life, despite the pressure to stay right-side-up. Leading with curiosity and creativity are at the core of Jessica’s mission.
Jessica helps busy go-getters create organized lives they love through physical and mental decluttering so they can thrive.
Jessica also teaches Marketing, Communications, and Human Skills at Seneca College and is editing her self-development book about finding success as a multi-passionate portfolioist.
Yoga, iron sculpture, and travelling in the Kawartha’s with her family in a refurbished Airstream trailer also make her FUN list.
Want to LEVEL UP your presentation skills with an expert SPEAKING COACH?

With over 25 years as an experiential educator and 14 years as a Presentation Skills & Communications professor, I bring experience, energy, and expertise to 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
