Meet The Founder:

Jessica began private tutoring while attending Glen Cove High School, from which she graduated Salutatorian. After graduating, Jessica went on to attend Princeton University where she not only continued her involvement with college preparation, but made meaningful contributions to the campus community. She majored in the Woodrow Wilson School for Public and International Affairs, from which she garnered the hallowed Susan M. Huffman Senior Thesis Prize, awarded to the senior with the best thesis, and the Women with Wings Award, bestowed upon the 25 most influential women at Princeton. In addition to her academic achievements, she was also the President of the Organization of Women Leaders, the Founder and President of Princeton Against Cancer Together, and the Women's Issues Liaison for the Undergraduate Student Government.

Upon graduation, she was appointed Site Director at TestTakers, a well-known SAT prep company based in the Tri-State area. At TestTakers, she directed three of the largest courses with nearly 500 students altogether. Additionally, she hired and trained the teachers for the courses, helped create new materials, and counseled and advised students and parents on various college preparation issues. Lastly, she is also a member of the Princeton University Alumni Schools Committee, for which she interviews prospective students from New York City and Long Island.

Over the past seven years, Jessica has worked with close to 1,000 students both privately and in the classroom and has an average score improvement of 320 points on the SAT and 5 points on the ACT. Consistently attaining perfect scores on both the old and new format SATs, Jessica has developed the most innovative and comprehensive materials that will help students of all levels achieve their optimum scores and attend their dream schools.

In addition to her pursuits with The Edge, Jessica is also actively involved in several charitable and volunteer organizations. Jessica is the Chairperson of the NYC Princeton Class of '04 Alumni Organization and was recently elected to the Boards of Women's Choices and Friends of OWL, two alumni organizations at Princeton. Furthermore, she is an active fund-raiser and volunteer for V-Day, an organization dedicated to ending violence against women and girls around the world and has recently launched a campaign to raise money to create the “City of Joy” for the women and girls of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
