While in law school at Seattle University School of Law, Jessica worked at Anderson & York (now Anderson Law Group) as a Legal Assistant and then Rule 9 Licensed Legal Intern. In her three years there, she gained invaluable mentorship, training, and experience. The folks she assisted and the work she did there are what inspired her to start Northwest Advocacy Foundation.
