Hello!

My name is Jessica Richards and I’m a Strategic Communications Specialist with a passion for helping people and businesses grow.

Born and raised in Southern Maryland, I’ve worked in and around many industries vital to our social and economic development.

I’ve been lucky to have a career solving public transportation challenges, serving our regional nonprofits, helping businesses grow, and working with local governments to improve infrastructure in the region.

As a member of family businesses and as a business owner myself, I’ve been blessed to have experience in agriculture, construction, and promoting Southern Maryland companies and the people who run them.

As a volunteer, I’ve spent time serving the public as a University of Maryland Extension Master Gardener, Steering Committee Member, and Communications Team Member. I remain actively engaged with my Citizens Academy Cohort writing their newsletter. I also serve on the Legislative Committee and Marketing Committee of my local Chamber of Commerce as the proprietor of Jessie Richards Media.

In all of these experiences, I’ve been able to analyze concerns, mediate conflict, and facilitate solutions by understanding people and policies that can help or hinder desired outcomes.

I enjoy making connections between people and ideas to find new and innovative solutions to longstanding problems, collaborating with stakeholders to ensure the largest hurdles are cleared.

I’d love to help you with your challenges, next!
