Jessica is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her current research focuses on improving the treatment of sleep problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. This includes looking at changes in brain activity during sleep, surveying people to assess subjective sleep quality, and studying the impact of electrical stimulation on these features.

In her free time, Jessica loves getting outdoors to ride her bike or tend to the garden. When Minnesota winters hit, she still tries to embrace the outdoors but also cannot understate the value of a cozy evening on the couch with a good movie or book.
