💙Help us give a warm PCR-I welcome to Ms. Jessica Ryals, Paraprofessional!

👨‍👩‍👦Jessica grew up in the Putnam County area and graduated from PCHS in 2017. She and Aaron VanHoutan live at Lake Thunderhead with their 6-month-old son, Jasper, and their pets.

👩‍🎓Jessica tells us, "I am finishing up my final couple of classes at Indian Hills Community College to earn my Associate of Arts in Psychology currently, and eventually I would like to go on to earn my master's degree in clinical Counseling. Before becoming a para for PCR-I, I worked at Dollar General for four years, so I may be a familiar face."

🌄Fun Fact: "I love a good adventure! In the summer of 2021, I went to Costa Rica. Despite my crippling fear of heights, while I was there I ziplined over a huge canyon in Monteverde (it was approximately a mile wide)! Not every adventure has to be this huge though...sometimes a trip to Walmart is also an adventure in itself."

💙Welcome to PCR-I, Ms. Jessica Ryals!
