Jessica Moran

Jessica Moran is an Asbury Park resident who grew up in Point Pleasant. A Rowan communications grad, she worked at the Asbury Park Press and did freelance music writing before joining the Ledger. She covers Shore culture, the music scene, dining, nightlife — everything that makes the Jersey Shore more than a reality TV punchline. She has seen Springsteen seventeen times. She believes the Shore is a real place with real culture, not just a summer destination.
