Jessica Navarro

Director of Communications

Jessica is a proud Cougar who has played a number of roles at the University of Houston, from student to two-time alumna and now staff member, as director of communications at Bauer College. In this position, she leads all integrated communication and creative efforts to build brand awareness and reputation of UH Bauer and oversees a talented group of communication professionals who handle the college’s Web site, printed publications, video production, photography, advertising, marketing and social media. Jessica loves exploring the UH campus, particularly the two Starbucks locations. She joined the Bauer staff in 2007 as communications manager; before that, she was a reporter at The Baytown Sun. Jessica recently earned her master’s degree in mass communication from (where else?) the University of Houston, and in her spare time, enjoys being an amateur "foodie" and going to concerts with her husband, Michael, a two-time alumnus of the University of Houston-Clear Lake. She was born and mostly raised in South Louisiana, and thinks Mardi Gras should be a national holiday.
