Jessica’s educational journey has been driven by her passion for volunteerism, leadership, and education through her involvement in extracurricular activities and civic organizations. Knowing firsthand the struggles 90% of Oklahoma City Public School students experience living at or below the poverty line, and the nearly 60% of Hispanic students encounter while navigating the education system, Jessica credits the opportunities both in and out of the classroom for her success.
On the School Board, Jessica aims to bring about positive change by empowering students with the same opportunities for success that she has received. Jessica will bring about positive change by addressing the needs of bilingual families, expanding extracurriculars and STEM education, helping students plan for their future careers, and providing enrichment opportunities to meet the diverse needs of OKCPS.
