'Good education is not possible without learning and researching teachers.'
Within the Excellence and Innovation in Education lectorate, Jessica is involved in various studies as a support staff member.
She taught Dutch at various secondary schools for seventeen years. She always found it important to conduct research together with colleagues into the challenges she encountered in that education. In 2021 she moved to Zeeland and in 2024 she switched from education to research and started as a researcher at HZ University of Applied Sciences.
Jessica studied Dutch language and literature at the University of Amsterdam. There she conducted a historical literature study on Cojo, Mentor and Present: three enslaved people who caused a fire in Paramaribo from 3 to 4 September 1832. She then worked for several years in the literature department of the Scheltema book palace in Amsterdam, after which she completed the Dutch teacher training course at the Vrije Universiteit.
