In true Exemplar style, Jessica has demonstrated her entrepreneurial spirit from a very young age.  When she was 10 years old she founded a ‘pet rock’ business, selling from door-to-door in her neighborhood and organizing a sales team of three.   It was this same spirit that attracted Jessica to Exemplar.  Our “Mango” was thrilled to find a firm that is breaking the mold, revolutionizing the legal industry, and that allows her to follow her passions.  Four months after joining the team, Jessica approached our CEO with her vision of going Green.  The Exemplar Green Initiative has taken off from there. 

In her spare time, Mango is an environmental activist, political activist and an International Trade junkie, always excited about the most recent WTO rulings and EU policies.   Jessica loves music and dancing, with 11 years of jazz and tap and 10 years of opera vocal training under her belt.  She also likes a little head-banging music every now and then.  When she is not caring for her two cats, she loves to cook, entertain, and learn as much about wine and chocolate as she possibly can.
