Jessica Fera joined WPXI.com as an Internet Multimedia Specialist in September of 2007. Jessica produces original content for WPXI.com. Some of that content includes covering events for the See and Be Seen section. This section takes Pittsburghers to many of the fun things happening around the city.

Jessica grew up in the South Hills of Pittsburgh and is a graduate of Upper St. Clair High School. She graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism. While at Penn State, Jessica co-anchored the Penn State Network TV News and anchored and reported for The Centre County Report on WPSU-TV. Jessica’s work was recognized in 2005 when she received the Society of Professional Journalists’ National Mark of Excellence award and again in 2006 when she was selected as a National Finalist by the Broadcast Education Association for her report on local law enforcement’s use of ‘The Facebook.’ Jessica feels fortunate to have been able to return to Pittsburgh to begin her career.

Prior to joining the Web department, Jessica worked as an associate producer in the news department at WPXI-TV.

When she’s not working, Jessica enjoys spending time with family and friends, her husband, Ric and her 4 lb. Yorkshire Terrier, Gracie. She also loves traveling and boating on the Three Rivers.

Jessica says, “Having a job you enjoy makes it easy to go to work each day. I’ve been passionate about journalism since I was a child, interviewing neighbors in my backyard. The Web has endless possibilities and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”
