Jessica’s involvement in Junior League was a long time coming – her mom went into labor with her one night after attending a Junior League of Sacramento membership meeting! A few decades later, Jessica joined Junior League of Orange County in 2014 and has been actively involved ever since.

Previous placements included Junior League Juniors Chair, VP Public Affairs, and Executive Vice President and she is honored to now have the opportunity to support all members in their leadership journeys as President. She loves that through JLOCC she is constantly learning and developing her own civic leadership skills, while working alongside women who also want to better themselves, their communities, and the world.

An alum of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Jessica is a licensed architect and Principal at Bickel Group Architecture in Newport Beach. In her free time she enjoys baking, sports, all things pop culture, weekend adventures, and useless fun facts. But in the winter, she lives for an annual girls ski trip with a group of fellow snow bunnies – each year in a different destination.
