Jessica Mast

Case Manager

Jessica Mast grew up in Indiana, Ohio,  Pennsylvania and New Jersey. After high school, she spent a year of voluntary service in Jokkmokk, Sweden. Following two years of college, Jessica did another year of voluntary service in Denver, Colorado where she met her husband, Justin. Justin is a registered nurse and EMT who works at Eskenazi Health and volunteers in their local township. Together they have two teenage sons. Justin and Jessica, along with their boys, fostered medically fragile infants for four years. They chose not to renew their license but Jessica wanted to continue to serve the vulnerable children in her community. As a foster mother, she appreciated the benefits having a CASA provided to their foster children, and so she reached out to Hancock County CASA and began training right away! Jessica has been a volunteer CASA for over two years and previously served as the Child Case Specialist prior to becoming the Case Manager for Hancock County CASA. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling and playing board games with her family.
