Meet our Team
Jessica Roshak (she/her)
Assistant Director of Student Leadership Development
I've been a member of the 麻豆精选community for five years, serving as the Assistant Director of Student Leadership Development. One of the things I enjoy the most about our institution is the collective commitment to growth and development, which is one of the many reasons I enjoy working in the 麻豆精选Leadership Center. There is nothing that brings me more joy than working with students who have a passion for making a difference and want to develop the strategies in their leadership toolkit. It allows me to teach them 鈥渞eal world鈥 skills, but also allows me to learn from them as I listen to their stories and experiences. I hope to see each of you in the Pepsi Leadership Center at some point for a workshop or program!

I'm starting my second year in my graduate program for Higher Education Administration and am a proud KSU alumna! I graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor of Communication Studies and was very involved in student leadership as an undergraduate student. Over the summer, I have been working as an Academic Advisor for the Ambassador Crawford College of Business and Entrepreneurship and interning in the Student Success Office at Northeast Ohio Medical University. I am a huge Taylor Swift fan, love taking Pilates classes, and recently picked up pickle ball!

In my free time, I like to go on walks, read books, and spend time with my family and friends.
