Global Symposium on Racing Speaker: Jessica Paquette
Jessica Paquette is currently the track announcer at Parx Racing and is the only woman in North America to hold that role. Prior to her journey into the announcer's booth, she has spent nearly two decades leading marketing and communications in various roles across the Thoroughbred industry. She also currently works with Conover Tuttle Pace where she assists industry clients in media and public relations. Equine safety and welfare has been an important touchstone throughout her career as she is also an avid amateur equestrian. In 2026, she began a podcast for equestrians called The Amateur Hour.
