“Hex Appeal: From Ancient Spells to Modern Magic” by Jessica Brady
Jessica is a Syracuse grad with a double major in psychology and neuroscience, but her real passions lie in hiking, reading, and traveling. She works as a fashion tradeshow coordinator, volunteers to raise child literacy rates, and never says no to a good outfit. Funny, adventurous, and always game for a good time, she’s the friend you’ll wish you’d met sooner.
PRESENTATION #3
