Jessica Thompson is a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, was born in Syracuse, NY, resided near Boston for most of her adult life, and now lives in Naples, Florida. Jessica worked for twelve years as a buyer and merchandise manager for two major department stores in Chicago and Boston, and later transitioned to a career in the financial services industry working for a large Boston bank as a branch manager and a mortgage servicing officer. While raising her two daughters, she was able to develop her creative passions for fashion design and home decorating. When Jessica’s daughters entered college, she fulfilled another life-long love, that of sports. She coached field hockey and lacrosse for young girls in two public school districts and refereed field hockey. Jessica is an avid golfer with a handicap of 15 in her sixties! She is proud she has passed her golf abilities down to her daughters, who are better than her.
