Jessica Makens
Jessica is an Administrative Assistant at American Chimney. She moved to the Portland/Vancouver area recently, joining the company in October 2024. Knowing little of chimneys in the beginning, she has enjoyed learning more about the chimney business, the inner workings of fireplaces and talking to the customers who call in to schedule appointments or get information. She has had many different jobs in the past, from nannying, historical archives, and as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service. All jobs have been exciting and she has learned so many different things through them. In her spare time, she enjoys a slew of hobbies, including embroidery, reading, and historical hat making, to name a few.
