Jessica Johnson is WLC’s Social Worker in the Crossroads 8:1:1 program. She is going on her fourth year at WLC but worked for BOCES in the past.

Just after high school, Jessica worked as a TANF mentor for the summer and throughout college she worked as an aide. She attended SUNY Brockport for her Bachelor’s degree and SUNY Binghamton for her Master’s degree. Jessica fell into the Social Work field after reconsidering becoming a teacher. Education is a core value of Jessica’s, so she felt that the perfect job was helping kids through their social-emotional challenges to be as successful as they can be in school.

Outside of the work environment, Jessica enjoys anything outdoors. Her favorite place to be is the Adirondack’s and she is an avid hiker. Jessica and her fiancé are aspiring 46ers and someday hope to complete the 46 high peaks. So far, they have completed 15.

No kids of her own, yet, but she does have a spunky pup, Tokey Bear, who she loves unconditionally. He looks like a panda which is where he got his nickname! If you ask Jessica what she loves most in life besides the things already mentioned, she will tell you her family who she enjoys spending most of her time with.
