Jessica Leigh is the founder, owner, and director of The Wildlife Company,
located in Vista, California. Jessica and her company are dedicated to
exposing people of all ages to the amazing animals with whom we share our
planet. With their highly structured and themed programs, The Wildlife
Company places special emphasis on the education of children, and on the
importance of conservation and animal welfare. Their shows, which may be
seen at schools, libraries, and private parties, have touched the lives of
countless individuals.
The Wildlife Company, as it exists today, serves as a constant reminder to
all that hard work and dedication go a long way in the pursuit of
achieving one?s goal. For Jessica, sharing her knowledge and understanding
of exotic animals with others has become more than a passion, but a way of
life as well. Despite the long road that has led her to where she is,
Jessica is more than content in knowing that everyday she is sending an
important message to children and adults alike. A message about
conservation, the animals themselves, and the vital role that we all play
in insuring their continued survival.
