Jessica, a full-time team member since September 2018, initially started as a copier and filing expert. Back then, Rushing RE had a stronger focus on brokerage, with many agents. Jessica became the go-to person for updating flyers, copying, and filing for the brokers, even before she turned 16.

During her senior year of high school in 2009, Jessica worked as an administrative assistant. Afterward, she moved to Los Angeles to attend Santa Monica College and later UCLA. Her strong understanding of day-to-day operations, coupled with her business degree, has allowed her to leverage her experience and maintain excellence in all aspects of the business. There’s no doubt that she’ll continue to contribute to the company’s success for years to come. Most recently she is enjoying her position as assistant project manager with the development and construction company.

Jessica finds joy in constantly learning and growing as part of our team. She also loves the people she gets to work with daily.

In her personal life, Jessica enjoys taking her dogs on adventures, camping, and traveling to California and Mexico. She and her husband have been together for five years and were married in 2022. For their honeymoon, they embarked on an incredible road trip across the entire US. Jessica is known for her playful nature and loves making people laugh. She’s always up for spontaneous adventures and enjoys spending time with her friends, her stepdaughter Carmen, and their dogs, Annabelle and Mabel.

Melanie has been with Rushing Group since November of 2021. Originally starting out as an Administrative Assistant, Melanie quickly grew her knowledge in Landlord Tenant Law and filled in as a Leasing Agent for May’s Landing part-time. With her many years in Customer Service, Melanie eagerly stepped into the Residential Asset Manager role and hit the ground running, wanting to make May’s Landing everyone’s favorite place to call home. The thing she enjoys the most about her day-to-day efforts is interacting with tenants and leasing apartments to first time renters. You can find Melanie walking the grounds daily and interacting with tenants (both human and pet), guests and vendors.

Outside of work, Melanie enjoys spending time with her 3 sons, and dog. She enjoys traveling to the coast (rain or shine) and playing in the sand with her family. Melanie enjoys happy hour with her girlfriends and finds herself being the “yes man” in every social setting. Meaning, don’t ask Melanie, because she will always say yes.
