Jessica Howell

Director of Sales & Marketing

Jessica may have been born on the Eastern Shore (Crisfield, MD) and grew up on Tangier Island, VA, but she considers Salisbury her home. She has worked in senior living for 20 years and started her career as an Admissions Associate. Through the years, she gained further experience in roles such as Long-Term Care Billing Specialist, Business Office Manager, Director of Admissions/Marketing and Clinical liaison.
