She writes curriculum, presents at conferences, works closely with districts to implement the WSCC Framework and facilitates a variety of events, including how to create systems change in schools around wellness.

On August 31, 2013, Jess completed a life goal of bicycling solo across the United States in 90 days and while doing so raised $23,000 for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation to fight childhood obesity.

Let's change the conversation around school employee well-being:

·     From a sole focus on physical activity to a holistic approach to include all elements of well-being
·     From individual responsibility to a culture that creates opportunities and conditions to be well
·     From school employee wellness programs are a "nice to have" to a "must have"
·     From "one more thing to do" to integrated into the work day
·     From one-size-fits-all to culturally-responsive
