    Jessica Pekke is a UC Davis alumna proficient in five East African languages, namely Kiswahili (commonly known as Swahili), Kikuyu, Luhya, Luganda, and Lugisu. Beyond her linguistic skills, Jessica enjoys traveling, cooking, camping, and watching shows with her family. She draws inspiration from Swahili sayings, with her favorites being "Better to stumble with the toe than the tongue,” “Hurry hurry has no blessing,” and “A heart deep in love has no patience.” Jessica is excited to share with the I-House community her knowledge of Swahili, a rich Bantu language, is influenced by loan words primarily from Persian, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, German, and English.
