Biographical Information
"Jessica has been the Executive Director of Sunbridge Institute since September 2008. Jessica’s professional background in Waldorf education includes serving as the first administrator and as a board member at a Waldorf school she co-founded in Everswinkel, Germany. She holds a BS in Business Management. Jessica has worked as an executive coach and organizational development consultant for Waldorf school administrators and teachers, as well as other professionals, consulting in diverse institutions and schools in both the US and Germany since 2002, with a focus on governance issues, personnel development, and leadership skills.

"Jessica is a parent of a son and a daughter, both of whom went through Waldorf schools and graduated from Green Meadow Waldorf School. Her deep belief that education can improve the world–and that Waldorf schools offer the most inspired and meaningful approach to education–is the prime motivation behind her work at Sunbridge. When she is not in her office, Jessica creates her elixir to daily life by spending time near, or on, the water."
