Jessica started her accounting career in 2001 when she worked for her father’s small business as his accountant. She always excelled in math, but was thrilled to put it to good use helping her father find mathematical errors and other problems that would have otherwise fallen through the cracks. For three years she worked for her father until the recession hit, and his business closed. For the next ten years, Jessica worked in the accounting industry for small and large companies. In 2010, she obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Business Accounting from Cal State Fullerton. And by 2012, she was going on her second year at a company called Liberty Dental Plan as a Staff Accountant, and was content. However, her satisfaction changed in 2013 after she had her first child, a daughter named Melia Leilani. Jessica could no longer bear going to work for 10 hours a day every day and miss the milestones her daughter was making while she was gone. She knew there had to be more to life than just work. She was determined to find another way, a way where she could be a mom, support her family financially, and have a more balanced life.
