Salvatore A. Barcia Jr. has been an elementary school teacher since 2006. Prior to teaching, he worked in public relations. He is a proud alumnus of Rutgers University (go RU!), receiving a Masters in Education at the College of Staten Island. A self-taught drummer, he has performed with marching bands, drum and bugle corps, and rock bands. He has also toured as a percussionist for children’s theater, which first opened his eyes to the joy of working with children. Jessica Thaler is a graduate of UCLA and Fordham Law School and works as a transactional attorney in NYC, specializing in the sports, entertainment, video game, software and financial industries. She has been engaged in the fine arts since her finger painting days in nursery school, decorating her notebooks throughout her educational years, taking art classes and spending whatever time she can drawing and painting. Her passion for art and love of children and education made working on Jerry Versus the Test an exciting and rewarding experience. Salvatore and Jessica have been friends for nearly two decades and are happy for the opportunity to collaborate on this project together.
