Before her accident, Jessica was an active 14 year old. She played basketball, softball, and did cheer leading. Jessica was working for a small painting company and found herself two stories up on a ladder when she fainted and fell to the ground, becoming a quadriplegic. In rehab, she dealt with the frustrations of living in a wheelchair, but soon realized that people in wheelchairs could do all the same things as someone able-bodied, just in a different way. Jessica is now a fourth-year student at Simon Fraser University, a speaker for WorkSafe BC, an avid baker, cake decorator, and wheelchair rugby player. As of this year, Jessica is also the model for Lise Watier's perfume, "Something Sweet." Jessica is one of the inspirational Ambassadors who speak to students as part of the Rick Hansen School Program. If you would like an Ambassador to visit your school, please contact schools@rickhansen.com or 1.800.213.2131. To find out more take a look at http://www.rickhansen.com/Ambassadors
