Jessica is our real life studio magical unicorn love fairy. She will always greet you with the warmest smile and her radiant energy. And we can all thank her for the uh-MAZING jewelry we always have in the shop. We are so grateful for the joy, thoughtfulness, and presence she brings to our community. We love you Jessica!
Q: WHAT IS YOUR ROLE WITHIN SOUL STRONG?
A: Soul Strong Cheerleader and #1 Fan! …Just kidding. I do front desk and merchandising. That role has evolved into online check-ins and light social media work recently. Sometimes, I am fortunate enough to do live check-ins, too!
Q: WHAT CALLED YOU TO DO A TEACHER TRAINING?
A: I had always wanted to do YTT! The timing and location of Soul Strong’s program pushed me towards accomplishing that goal faster than I had anticipated. It was really a wonderful experience and I can tell Julie, Sepideh, and the Soul Strong teaching team take pride in their special teacher training program. I await their 300 hour program because I will be the first to sign up!
Q: WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES WITH THE SOUL STRONG COMMUNITY?
A: Being a mermaid at Soul Strong’s anniversary last year! It was a great introduction to the community as a whole and one of my first events to attend. It was so much fun and I grew up in Round Rock so I am forever grateful to be a part of something this big in my (used to be) little town. There is a picture somewhere on our Insta grid!
Be sure to think of Jessica next time you snag some awesome SSY merch!
