Jessica is a professional ballet dancer and avid academic tutor. She has been working towards a B.A. in English - Technical and Professional Writing from Indiana University East online.  She graduated from Monroe High School in Wisconsin with Distinguished Honors with a 4.2 GPA.  She also achieved a 35 on the ACT, was named an AP Scholar by the College Board, and received her district's "Student of the Month" award twice.  Throughout high school she took numerous AP classes: AP U.S. History, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, AP Spanish, AP Psychology, and AP European History.  She has completed both in-person and online courses, and has the skills to help students in both.  She not only wants to see students succeed academically, but also in life, which is why she also works to develop her students' self-confidence and desire to achieve, and she teaches life skills such as time management and organization.  Through years of tutoring and mentoring students, Jessica has recognized the disconnect many students have between their education and their lives, and she strives to break down that disconnect to foster a greater desire to learn and achieve in her students. Jessica recognizes the immense value in developing a strong mindset and skills for success, and she wants Mindful Ontogeny to be a place where people go to be supported, mentored, and encouraged to chase their own success.
