Jessica Brown is a sought-after Empowerment Speaker, Confidence Coach, and Mentor. As a natural connector, Jessica has the ability to make people feel seen and heard. With 70% of teen girls not seeing themselves as good enough compared to their peers, Jessica is passionate about changing that narrative. As a teen, she looked for validation from others and became a perfectionist out of a desire to hide her external flaws. Her exceptional communication is a result of her degree in Communication, learning English as a second language, and her fluency in Spanish which she learned as a child growing up in Panama. Jessica is a Veteran of the United States Army and attributes her level of resilience to overcoming physical and mental challenges she endured while serving, as well as various life-altering experiences.
