Jessica Girard
After receiving her degree in business and environmental studies from Antioch University, Jessica wasted no time putting it to use. In 2014 at the height of the drought, she Co-founded Ecolawn, a Santa Barbara based landscaping company. Her favorite aspect of the business was selecting the team and watching them thrive.
