Jessica Walsh

Owner, Worcester Wares, Worcester

Birthplace: Milford
Residence: Worcester
High school: Bellingham Memorial Junior-Senior High School
College and degree earned: Bachelor’s degree, Northeastern University

Career highlights: Nervously leaving my 9-to-5 job to pursue a more artistic business venture. Expanding the product line and design of Worcester Wares while working with talented Worcester artists. Worcester Wares being chosen to open a storefront spot at the DCU Center.

Community involvement: Joined the board of Worcester Local First and continue to work with Worcester small businesses on their social media and marketing presence so they may continue to thrive.

Non-relative you admire most: Photographer Diane Arbus

Favorite book: “To Kill A Mockingbird,” by Harper Lee

Hidden talents: Tough question! Tying complicated knots, memorizing entire movies after only one viewing (although I never remember song lyrics), roller skating and predicting when it’s going to rain — even if the weatherman said it wouldn’t — by the way the wind blows through the trees.

“By the time I turn 50, I’d like to have accomplished … figuring out the perfect work-life balance.”
