Jessica is a proud Taranaki local, born and raised in the region. After marrying her husband David, the pull of the Taranaki lifestyle and the Maunga drew them to New Plymouth, where they started their family. Now with three young children, they love the ease of raising a family here, with the mountain, beautiful beaches, and a vibrant arts and cultural scene on their doorstep.
Jessica brings a creative and commercially grounded skill set to her role as Executive & Team Operations at the Taranaki Foundation. With a background spanning design, account management, buying, and financial administration, she brings a varied range of experience that makes her a versatile and capable member of the team.
She feels fortunate to work alongside such a passionate team at the Taranaki Foundation and with the community groups doing the mahi to make this province thrive, now and into the future.
