Jess graduated in 2009 from the University of New Brunswick with a BA in European History, and in 2013 from the Library and Information Technician program at Algonquin College. She has dabbled in a few different areas of the LIT world, but currently works as a Learning Commons Informationist at an elementary school and high school by day, and in the library at Algonquin College by night. In her almost-non-existent spare time, she likes to volunteer at a therapeutic riding stable helping children learn to ride horses, and watch her Ottawa Senators beat the opposing team.
