Jessica Krouse originally attended the Coast Guard Academy wanting to fly SAR helicopters, but returned to Dallas after an injury and found MARK-9 a good opportunity to work SAR. Jessica's special interests inclue airborne search-and-rescue, water search, high-angle rescue and critical wanderers. Jessica is currently a student studying speech pathology and education. She loves working with dogs -- and according to Puzzle and Fozzie (who are both devoted to her), may be the closest thing to a Golden Retriever a human can get.
