An expert on bullets? A former resident of Kenya? Or a homebody? Meet Jessica, the newest member of our Customer Service team at SimplyHome.

Jessica has already made a big impact and has proven herself to be a quick learner and excellent team player! We sat down with Jessica to ask her a few questions about herself.

Are you new to Asheville? What is your favorite thing about Asheville so far?

I have been here about three years, although I do still refer to myself as being new to the area. I think my favorite thing here is how active everyone is.

Whether it's with animals, the outdoors, charity work, or the breweries, everyone seems to have a "thing" that gets them out of the house and into the community. As a natural homebody, it inspires me to stretch my comfort zone and get involved.

What's your favorite place you've ever lived?

Kakamega, Kenya

When you aren't working, how do you like to spend your time?

Either at home with my cats, or out at a pub with friends.

What is the strangest/oddest job you have ever had? Do you have any unusual skills on your resume?

I spent a summer inspecting bullets. They were re-packed shells used by a local police department for practice on the range.

What's been the best thing about your first week at SimplyHome?

Everyone has been so sweet and so welcoming, really making this an easy transition for me.

How do you define success?

I'd define success with another hard-to-define word: Happiness. Being successful is being happy - Loving where you live, having the freedom, both in finances and time, to be with friends or family, traveling, and loving what you do so that it doesn't feel like 'work'.
