Jessica has more than 15 years of environmental consulting experience, including over a decade of project management, planning, and coordination of projects. Jessica's expertise includes hydrogeological assessments of surface and groundwater resources, environmental site assessments, conceptual modeling, data management systems, soil boring, monitoring wells, and remediation system installations. She has supported and served as the project hydrogeologist on investigations of PFAS impacts at more than a dozen airports, including 11 airports in Michigan, and several industrial sites, including non-PFAS investigations of other Part 201 contaminated sites. Jessica has performed and overseen soil, groundwater, surface water, and stormwater investigations for PFAS and other contaminants of concern, evaluated municipal well-pumping test data, and provided remedial design and support for a Superfund site.
Before joining LimnoTech, Jessica worked as a project hydrogeologist with NewFields Mining and Energy Services based in Missoula, Montana, and as a geologist with North Jackson Company in Marquette, Michigan. At NewFields, she served as an assistant project manager for permitting an open-pit mine in the Basin and Range Province. She developed technical scopes of work and conducted field investigation activities such as drilling supervision, well construction, aquifer testing, packer testing, groundwater sampling, and acquired physical and chemical data for surface and underground mines in the West and Southwest regions of the U.S. and for a Superfund site in western Montana.
While at North Jackson, Jessica served as project manager and client lead for hydrological assessments of surface water streams, groundwater aquifers, and wetlands of an underground copper and nickel mine in northern Marquette County, Michigan. She helped design and develop a GIS web-enabled data management tool for documenting National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System reductions in a Great Lakes Area of Concern.
Jessica received her BS in Geological Sciences from the University of Michigan in 2004 and her MS in Geosciences from the University of Montana in 2006; where her thesis involved the development and application of a MODIS-driven snowmelt model for both a large and small mountain basin in northwestern Montana.
