Jessica is a health geographer who uses mixed methods to investigate how built, social, and natural environments impact health and wellbeing across the life course. She has developed a new concept, Cognability, to capture how neighborhoods may support brain health through opportunities to exercise, socialize, and think/learn in later life. You can check out a preliminary Cognability score for your neighborhood . 

Jessica grew up on the other side of the Rocky Mountains in Vancouver (Canada). When not at her desk, Jessica is most often chasing after her two fast-moving children (aged 2 and 4), running the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ trails with her partner Matt, or curled up with a pop fiction book.
