Caruso, Jessica

Instructional Assistant

Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I earned a BA in Business Marketing from WWU before spending over 15 years as a creative director and graphic designer. I’m now thrilled to be following my passion for education and working with children. After volunteering in classrooms at Coe Elementary for over 8 years, I’m excited to officially join the Special Education team as an Instructional Assistant. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and three kids, attending concerts and theater performances, exploring various art forms, running, and traveling to new places around the world.
