About the Author

Jessica Alling
After receiving the prestigious, if not tongue-in-cheek, "Future Bloodsucker of America" award for winning a stock market challenge in middle school, Jessica knew that her future lay in finance. But when her Finance degree's P/E ratios and other metrics weren't enough, she added a degree in English to her repertoire. Though some questioned the combination, her work with the Fool has clarified the method to her madness to those that couldn't see the connection before. Oh, and she still has that award framed in her office.
