Jessica grew up in border city Juarez, Mexico. It was not until college that she moved to Austin, Texas to pursue a career in accounting. She has a Bachelor of Business Administration from Texas State University. Her goal was to find a niche in accounting for nonprofit and work for a company that mirrored her core values.

Jessica first joined Whole Foods Market Global Support as an Associate Accountant for the General Ledger Team, where she provided some accounting support to Whole Planet. She transitioned to the Whole Planet team in early 2015 as the Administrator of Business and Finance and is now the Finance Coordinator for the Foundation.

Like almost every Austinite, Jessica enjoys jogging around Town Lake with her dog, trying every food truck on her way, live music and festivals. She also enjoys playing, watching and having discussions about soccer.
