Here is the latest version of my resumé: Jessica Dover Resume.pdf

I could write a long narrative about my life and history and whatnot, but I would like it if many people read this, not just my mother (love you, mom). So, here’s the bullet version (not an exhaustive list):

1. I got my Bachelor’s degree in Music. As a trumpet player.
   

2. I practiced a lot.
   

3. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and have been interpreting for over six years. I learned Spanish through school, self-study, and practicing. A lot (see previous bullet).
   

4. I can stand on my head.
   

5. I have learned that while you can lose the accent, some Southernisms just won’t go away. This can be a good thing
   (see: handwritten thank-you notes). Sometimes it is not
   (see: sweet-tea/hushpuppy-induced coma).
   

6. I’m just going to come out and say it: I moved to Portland because my husband was playing in a band. In the course of two weeks we sold our house, went to Costa Rica, got married, came back to the states, packed up a truck, and moved to Portland with nary a job nor place to stay between us.
   

7. We really like Portland.
   

8. I once went snorkeling with whale sharks.
   

9. I played the processional and recessional for Jon Faddis’s wedding. Trumpet geeks will swoon over this one.
   

10. I like cats and dogs. However, I own only cats because they know where their bathroom is while I am out of town.
    

11. ¡Pura vida!
