Born and raised in Baraga County, Jessica left the area to attend Michigan State University and Northern Michigan University to earn her bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. She and her husband worked their way back to the area to raise their three children close to family, the community, and the beautiful landscape they so love and appreciate. Jessica currently homeschools their 3 children on their small scale farm in L’Anse. In her spare time she enjoys outdoor adventures and travel, as well as crafting and hobby farming. Jessica’s biggest inspiration for working with Kaleidoscope is being able to make a positive impact in her community.
Tiffany was born and raised in the UP, which is where her love for nature and art began. She wanted to draw all of the beautiful nature that surrounded her. She has been a Certified Nurses Aide for 16+ years and plans to continue her education to become a nurse. Helping others has always been important to her. Tiffany has been homeschooling her son since 2020 and loves developing fun and creative ways for him to learn. In her free time she enjoys reading, going for hikes, gardening, drawing, and painting.
