Jess grew up attending Geneva Campus Church and is a proud graduate of the church's Sunday School program. After getting married and moving to the east coast, Jess is delighted to return to Geneva with her husband and son. Jess has a Masters of Education in Early Childhood Education with a certification in Montessori education (UW-River Falls) and dual bachelors in English Literature and Theater (UW-Madison). She hopes to bring her passion for nature and storytelling to Geneva's children's program helping children delight in God's creation and bring the Bible to life. When Jess isn't working with Geneva, or being a full time mom, you might find her reading autobiographies, Shakespeare, and Dickens; quilting; or relaxing in her backyard beneath a crooked old apple tree.
