Jessica’s love of Disney began in 2011, after she spent months researching and planning her first family trip. That first trip was so magical that she and her husband found themselves returning just a few months later to celebrate their anniversary. They became Annual Passholders on that trip, and since then, have gone several times per year. In 2014, Jessica was bitten by the runDisney bug, and her life has never been the same! She found a community that she loves, joined two running teams (Mickey Milers and Team Shenanigans), and has accomplished things she never thought possible. To date, she has participated in 9 runDisney race weekends, including completing the Dopey Challenge in 2017.
Jessica lives in Raleigh, NC with her husband, three children, and three dogs. She is constantly planning her next trip, dreaming of a Dole Whip, and blaring the IllumiNations soundtrack. You can follow Jessica on Instagram at booknerd_runner.
