Jessica Thompson graduated from Belfast Central School in 2007. She then attended Saint Bonaventure University and majored in English Literature. Jessica works three jobs as of now: Mortgage Underwriter at Community Bank NA, waitress at Sprague’s Maple Farms, and dog groomer at Barkz, LLC.  She plans to return to college to earn her Masters degree.

Jessica’s hobbies include spending time with her family, girlfriend, and their two West Highland Terriers, Oliver and Lucy. She also enjoys reading, writing, and finding new places to visit and explore with friends.

When she was asked about her memories at BCS, she recalled playing sports and being in great shape, going to solo festivals, All-County and All- State, and all the teachers she had throughout high school.

When we asked for any words of advice she said, “Never give up on what you want and dream of, because it is always attainable if you put the effort forward. Success doesn’t happen overnight. Work hard and believe that one day the hard work will show itself through results.”
