Born and raised in Pottstown, Jessica is a descendant of the late Richard J. Ricketts, an iconic mover and shaker in the community and founder of the Ricketts Center (now a part of the Boyertown Area Multi-Service organization). After graduating from Pottstown High School, she earned her associate’s degree at Montgomery County Community College then obtained her nursing degree from Reading Hospital School of Nursing.
Jessica showed an active interest in the Hobart’s Run initiative from its planning stages and volunteered to serve as a block captain when Hobart’s Run launched in 2016. Jessica is a dedicated participant in neighborhood clean-ups and meetings, and she is an enthusiastic advocate for our work in Pottstown.
Currently Jessica works as a nurse coordinator for Centralized Follow Up at Planned Parenthood. She also is enrolled at Chamberlain School of Nursing, pursuing an advanced degree. The proud mother of a daughter and a son, she enjoys volunteering, traveling, and other hobbies.
