Jessica Sheppard is an Associate Editor for HerCampus and has been on staff writing for just over a year. As an Associate Editor she has been in charge of managing a small team of writers bi-monthly and helping them craft, and edit their articles through the three draft processes in place. She has also written in a variety of sections from experiences and life to academics and wellness. The variety of the articles is what allows her to maintain her creativity in an effort to write relatable content. She continues to write outside of HerCampus participating in the Banned Books Weeks poetry contest and placing 3rd and participating in Earth Weeks poetry reading.
While being a part of HerCampus, Jessica is pursuing her bachelors and her masters from San Francisco State University simultaneously in communications. She is able to do this because she was hand selected to participate in the SF State Scholars program that allows scholars to pursue their masters while finishing their bachelors.
