Telling the stories that shape our community.
Prescott Woman Magazine is Northern Arizona’s premier women-focused media platform, dedicated to celebrating the voices, stories, and impact of the Prescott Quad Cities. What began as a lifestyle magazine has evolved into a dynamic, digital-forward brand rooted in storytelling, connection, and community uplift.
We spotlight the women who lead, create, serve, and inspire — entrepreneurs, artists, educators, advocates, and changemakers whose work shapes the place we call home. Through powerful profiles, thoughtful features, and meaningful conversations, we go beyond the surface to share stories that matter.
Today, our storytelling lives across multiple platforms. Through the She Spark Podcast, we amplify real conversations around leadership, purpose, growth, and connection. Through the Prescott Woman Awards, we honor women whose courage, compassion, and contributions make a lasting difference. And through Portraits with Purpose, we combine storytelling and service, using photography to give back and uplift local nonprofits.
More than a magazine, Prescott Woman is a movement — a trusted platform for women’s voices, a connector of community, and a catalyst for positive change. We believe stories have power, visibility creates opportunity, and when women rise, communities thrive.
Join us as we continue to celebrate Prescott — digitally, boldly, and with heart — one story, one spark, and one woman at a time.

Creating a Life of Possibility
For Jessica Stickel, helping others discover what is possible is more than a career. It is a philosophy that has shaped her own life.
As a school counselor at Prescott High School and founder of Inspired Freedom Coaching and Speaking, Jessica works with students, individuals and groups to build confidence, gain clarity and move beyond the barriers that may be holding them back.
“I love seeing people reach their full potential,” she said. “I give students and clients the opportunity to explore, discover and become who they truly are.”
Women of Prescott: Building Integrity, Opportunity, and Community
Prescott has always been a place where people still believe in community, where business owners know their customers, students know their professors, and neighbors still show up for each other. When I moved here and joined Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I quickly realized that success in Prescott is not defined only by professional achievement. It is defined by service, relationships, and impact.
I serve as the Program Chair and a Professor for the Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. My work focuses on teaching students how to investigate financial crimes, analyze complex data, and protect organizations from fraud. Before coming to Prescott, I spent over a decade working in government auditing and fraud investigations, including directing audits protecting billions in public pension assets and participating in criminal fraud cases.

New Option for Cervical Cancer Screening: HPV Self-Collection Now Available Across Arizona
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer — yet thousands of women are still diagnosed each year. Barriers like access to care, transportation challenges, cultural or religious beliefs, personal discomfort, and even stigma around HPV continue to prevent many from getting screened.
Now, there’s a new option designed to change that.
Sonora Quest Laboratories has expanded its cervical cancer screening services by offering an FDA-approved HPV self-collection test through My Lab ReQuest™. The new screening option is available at all Sonora Quest Patient Service Centers across Arizona, giving individuals a safe, private alternative to a traditional pelvic exam.
