Hi, I’m Jessica Gauthier—a communications leader, consultant, and advocate for mission-driven organizations and community changemakers.

With a career built on the belief that every organization has a story worth telling, I help clients clarify their message, build trust, and make an impact—especially when it matters most.

My Journey

Originally from Ottawa, Canada, I’m proud of my French Canadian heritage and the global perspective it brings to my work. My professional path has taken me from Canada to South Korea, Germany, North Dakota, and now North Texas, where I’ve made my home. Along the way, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for diverse communities and the power of inclusive, purpose-driven communication.

• Strategic Communications & Public Relations:
  From media relations and crisis communication to reputation management and stakeholder engagement, I help organizations build resilient brands and navigate complex challenges with clarity and confidence.

• Digital Marketing & Strategy:
  I’ve driven measurable growth across digital platforms—boosting social media reach, increasing engagement, and launching targeted campaigns that deliver results.

• Leadership & Project Management:
  Whether leading cross-functional teams, managing budgets, or spearheading fundraising efforts, I bring a collaborative, solutions-oriented approach to every project.

• Education & Advocacy:
  I’m passionate about public education, fair housing, and supporting organizations that make a difference in their communities.

Notable roles and achievements include:

• Director of Communications & PR at the Arlington Board of REALTORS®—where I launched new educational programs, secured $13,000+ in grant funding, and led DEI initiatives recognized statewide.

• District Communications Coordinator & Webmaster for Lake Worth ISD—managing crisis communications during COVID-19, launching recruitment campaigns, and earning multiple Star Awards for excellence in educational communications.

What Drives Me

I believe in the power of clear, inclusive messaging to drive change and foster understanding. My approach is rooted in empathy, cultural awareness, and a calm, confident presence—especially in moments of crisis or transformation.

Despite my international travels, my favorite museum remains the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Québec—a reminder of my roots and the stories that connect us all.
