“Jessica has been an Artist/Educator with the Saratoga Mentoring Program for many years. She is creative, energetic and has a wonderful way with children. She took part in a environmental project in our program focused on the endangered Karner Blue Butterfly and then was inspired to create a children's book on the same topic. She involved the children in our program as illustrators. The whole process was so empowering for all of the kids involved. Parents, volunteers and kids speak so highly of Jessica; they always remember the red headed artist who taught them. She has been able to engage children from diverse backgrounds, including those with special needs and troubled pasts. She is compassionate, talented and one of the most trustworthy people I know.”
