Outside the office

Jessi lives in Madisonville, Kentucky, with her two sweet daughters and their delightfully quirky pets: Sadie, a lovable labradoodle who’s always up for a snuggle, and Obi-Wan, a mischievous cat who rarely lives up to his noble name. Outside of her 9-to-5, Jessi enjoys recharging in nature: fishing, hiking, stargazing, gardening, traveling to charming Hallmark-style towns, exploring new foods and wineries, and going on adventures with the girls. To Jessi, there's nothing like fresh air and sunshine!
