This breadth of experience informs the work of Resilient Pathways Consulting today. Through sustainable preparedness programs, realistic and meaningful exercises, and tailored improvement planning, Jessica helps organizations bridge the gap between planning and action. The result is not just compliance, but lasting capacity, confidence, and resilience embedded into organizational culture.
