Meet Jessica

Jessica joined Smith Leonard in 2013 and has been a key contributor to our assurance group. While she has experience with both public and privately-held clients, she spends the majority of her time on Smith Leonard’s manufacturing, distribution, and nonprofit clients. Efficient and willing to drive a project toward completion, she enjoys working with clients and always brings a positive, good-natured attitude to each engagement.

A Triad native, Jessica has lived here all her life except for a one-year military relocation spent in Manhattan, KS working at Kansas State University. When not at work, Jessica enjoys spending time with her husband Demond. She is a huge fan of traveling, especially to tropical locations on cruises.
