A little bit about me

Hi my name is Jessica! I am 23 and am a UCSB graduate in Ecology. My favorite job was in the Chemistry department, where I worked as a coordinator for a outreach program for 5th graders. I love how curious kids are, and how they ask so many questions!
I have been watching my little cousins and family friend’s children my entire life. I would love to be able to teach a child some garden skills and spark their curiosity about the natural world!
