Meet Jessica L. Coe
Jessica says
College is a huge investment of both time and money. The only way to really discover which school is right for you is to ask questions, tour the campus, and speak with current students. When you visit, you will know if the school is the right place for you.
At Medaille College, I currently help most transfer students complete their transition into Medaille from other schools. I also work with several of the metropolitan Buffalo area high school students as well as adult students who are seeking our traditional academic programs.
I am originally from Union City, PA. I moved to Buffalo about five years ago.
Education
I am a 1999 graduate of Union City High School and I also graduated with my bachelor’s degree in marketing from The Pennsylvania State University in 2003.
I also am working on my master’s degree in elementary & special education.
College Activities
My love of college admissions started with my involvement as a Lion Ambassador. We helped the Admissions Office and Alumni Affairs with making visitors feel welcome on our campus.
I was very much involved with collegiate athletics by participating in cross country and indoor/outdoor track. I was captain of the cross country team my senior year. While in cross country I was an all-conference selection in 1999, 2001, and in 2002. My cross country team was also selected as Academic All-Americans.
I was also a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee representative for cross country.
I am also a current member of Pi Lambda Theta, a national honor society for education students.
Fun Facts
Since 7th grade I have been involved with running and I am so proud that I have now completed TWO marathons. On September 9th 2007 I dropped 19 minutes off of my previous marathon attempt. I think I want to run the DC or Chicago marathon next.
Currently I am reading two books: Marley & Me by John Grogan and Daniels’ Running Formula by Jack Daniels, one of the world’s best distance running coaches.
Within the past few months I cut 11 inches off of my hair and donated it to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides hair pieces to economically challenged children who suffer from any type of long-term hair loss.
