A Little About Jessica and Her Family
Jessica was born on Tuesday, March 6, 1979 in Baltimore, Maryland at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC). She
lived in both Upperco and Mayo before moving to Prince Frederick, MD when she was 1 year old. Then, in 1986 her family moved
to Ellicott City, where Jessica grew up with her parents and two brothers, Philip and Andrew. Jessica's mother,
Emily, currently works in development for the U.S. Naval Academy Foundation. Philip recently started his own company, Gooseworks Consulting, which designs teambuilding programs through experiential learning. Andrew, a member of Phi Delta Theta, will graduate from the University of Pennsylvania this May!

Camp Wright was a special place for Jessica during her summers growing up. Located on Kent Island, along the eastern shore
of Maryland, CW is run by the Episcopal Diocese of Easton and is accredited by the American Camping Association. A camper there for 6 years and a counselor for an additional 5 years, Jessica still holds this "beautiful spot on the Chesapeake
Bay" close to her heart. Registration for the summer starts in January!

Did you know that some "reality TV" stars went to Boston College? I just recently learned that Clinton Kelly, cohost
of one of my favorite shows, What Not to Wear on TLC, graduated from BC in 1991. Read about him in the Boston College Magazine!
More recently, BC alums have had a moment in the spotlight on NBC's The Apprentice. Fellow 2001 graduate, Michael, was a member of the "Book Smarts" team in Season 3.
