About Jessica
Jessica’s passion for math began early—sparked in elementary school when she was placed in the advanced math class. That spark never faded. It led her to pursue and earn a Bachelor of Science in Middle Grades Mathematics Education from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Throughout college, she gained valuable experience by tutoring students in various levels of math, participating in the AVID program at a local middle school, and completing a student-teaching internship that earned her Dean’s List recognition and the title of exemplary intern within her district.
Jessica taught 6th and 7th grade math for three years at a rural Title I school, where she learned firsthand the importance of engaging instruction and educational equity. She then transitioned to a charter school, where she spent another two and a half years as a seventh grade math content specialist and grade level manager, helping to support both students and fellow educators.
While she loved teaching, Jessica saw the limitations of traditional classroom roles. Determined to have a greater impact, she founded Just Focus Online Learning—an innovative platform created to help middle school students thrive in math through engaging and accessible resources.
Within months, her vision grew into a full-fledged online learning business that includes:
