Jessica Placek-Heagy

Catering Food Services Manager

Jessica has been a member of the Hopkins Dining team since August 2022 and oversees the day-to-day planning & execution of events for our 1876 Distinction catering team. She attended Baltimore International College with a focus on Baking & Pastry.

Jessica’s favorite part of her role in Catering is the larger events on campus from Family Weekend to Alumni Week and our signature campus events Lighting of the Quads, Orientation and Convocation and Commencement. She thrives on organized chaos and loves seeing our campus partners come together with a common goal, our Blue Jay community. For favorite food is potatoes including baked potatoes, home fried potatoes, French fried potatoes, roasted fingerling potatoes, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes. Outside of her role with Hopkins Dining, Jessica likes to get away – whether it’s to comfort areas like the eastern shore and/or the mountains of Western MD, or someplace new. Although her adventures have taken a pause but is very excited to start planning family trips with her little babe.
