Jessica lives in downtown Durham with her husband and ridiculous dogs.  She loves the history, character, and community involvement that are central to Durham's identity - but mostly the food. Jessica graduated from Davidson College and studied at St. Andrews University in Scotland.  Since deciding to give real estate a try a few years ago she has thrived personally and professionally and feels very fortunate to do something she loves in a city she loves.

What did you do before real estate? Worked in the White House and for a non-profit focusing on the prevention of child exploitation.

What do you do outside of work? Walk, run, and practice Yoga at Patanjali's Place. I love reading and belong to three book clubs. When not doing those things you can find me exploring Durham restaurants, knitting, and eating chocolate.

What organizations get your time and money? I am involved with and support Durham CAN, Immaculate Conception, Genesis Home, Leadership Durham, and the Trinity Lofts Neighborhood Association Board.

How would you spend $100 in Durham? I love this question. As usual, my day would center around food. Let's assume it's a weekday. On the way home from my run I would stop for a Cafe Arancia at Scratch Bakery. The Arancia is a sublime combination of iced coffee, orange rind, sea salt, and whipped cream. I may also treat myself to a Donut Muffin ($6). For lunch I would walk over to Old Havana for a sandwich but would really be going for the roasted plantains which are out of this world ($10). After work I think I'd pick up a new summer top at Vert & Vogue ($40) before walking over to the new Bull City Burgers with my husband for a Burger and a glass of wine ($40). We may stop to play ping pong and drink a pint at Fullsteam on the way home, if we aren't too stuffed already!

Where was your most recent restaurant visit? The Nasher for a Thursday evening Jazz dinner. 

What book are you currently reading? Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace and a Michelangelo Compendium. Both for book clubs.
