Jessica S. Abele

Jessica (Abele) Briceno grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After receiving her B.S in Communications from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania in August of 2000, she moved to Houston,Texas to try her hand at magazine editing and publication. Jessica later went on to complete a second degree to become a registered dental hygienist from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.

After her own intense journey to self discovery, Jessica felt a strong desire to help others who were struggling with things like self-acceptance, self-worth or those simply searching for a greater sense of inner peace and happiness. Jessica wrote The Truly Happy You as a way to tell her personal stories, share lessons learned and, most importantly, to offer unique guidance. By reading and working through this book, Jessica hopes to help the reader learn how to smile a little wider, laugh a little louder and realize that they, too, have have a spark glowing within.

Some things Jessica enjoys are: reading a good book, sailing calm seas, sitting by the fire, cheese and crackers, and unhurried vacation days. She currently lives in the Washington, D.C. area with her husband and two children – until the next adventure calls.
