Hey there, I'm Jessica waving hand

I'm a Founder, CEO, and CPA building at the intersection of education, finance, and AI. After 15+ years leading accounting and finance at high-growth companies, I'm now creating AI-powered products — from an agentic operations practice to a K–12 learning platform.
