Before joining Chaffin Luhana, Jessica worked with the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation, focusing on game night programming, and spent the prior season interning with the team in Corporate Partnerships.

Jessica graduated from Robert Morris University in May 2020 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration, with concentrations in Sport Management and Marketing.

In her spare time, Jessica enjoys making art, going to concerts, and has a bucket list goal of visiting all 31 NHL arenas.

Jessica’s 2020 Chaffin Luhana Foundation charity donation was to Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, a group working to foster and care for senior dogs that are otherwise seen as “unadoptable” in order to give them quality care in the remaining years of their lives. Old Friends operates entirely on donations and currently houses over 120 dogs at a time, providing medical care and services for the animals as well as finding families to foster them. Says Jessica, “Rescue dogs, and specifically senior rescues, are very important to me because my own dog Abbey was a rescue that we had for 13 amazing years. I know that it is difficult emotionally and financially to care for and foster senior dogs, so I absolutely admire the work that Old Friends does.”
