Jessica Derr
Sr. Director of Project Management
My journey into market research wasn’t exactly planned—I originally applied for a project manager role simply because the company was nearby. But what started as a practical decision quickly turned into a career I love, especially at TRC, where the people truly make all the difference.
Over the years, I’ve become passionate about tackling complex challenges: finding the right respondents, keeping projects on track and on budget, and building the best teams to ensure everything runs smoothly. As Senior Director of Project Management, I lead, train, and support my team in recognizing these challenges and developing innovative solutions that help overcome them and drive success.
Outside of work, life is all about family—I’m a proud wife and mom of two amazing kids. I love reading, staying active, and embracing my long-time love for all things pumpkin (way before it was trendy). #PumpkinKnowsNoSeason
Education: B.A. Marketing, King’s College
