Meet Jessica, one of the hardworking womxn in our kitchen crew! Jessica is very creative and loves coming up with clever "questions of the day" to ask at our morning team meetings, like "what flower are you?" or "if you had to be a bug, which one would you be?" She is a very bright, energetic part of the team and we're so grateful to have her!
