Jessica

Office Manager / Marketing Coordinator

Jessica was born and raised in Lansing, Michigan. After spending a few summers in the Upper Peninsula, she fell in love with Northern Michigan and made the move to the northern Lower Peninsula in 2007.

In 2011, Jessica reconnected with her high school sweetheart. They married in 2013 and later welcomed a son, who keeps them on their toes in the best ways. As a family, they enjoy boating, fishing, hiking, traveling, and cooking together. They also share their home with a cat named Olive-Athena—a name proudly chosen by their son. Jessica currently serves on the Boyne Falls Public School Board of Education.

At Van Dam, Jessica wears many hats as the Office Manager and Marketing Coordinator. She’s the creative force behind much of the print and digital marketing, and also serves as the in-house videographer, photographer, and planner for team events and celebrations.
