Heather Shields Maine Women’s Project - Jessica Estes

Meet Jessica Estes. She's a bad-ass in a powerful industry. As the president of a large firm with a multi-state presence, she's at the helm of complex decisions every day. But one of my favorite things about her is her appreciation of the simple things, like the strong work ethic that Mainers share and the pure natural beauty of our home state. Jess and I have a lot in common. We’re both lifelong Mainers with unconventional life paths. Not only is she raising standards and overcoming obstacles in a male-dominated profession, she's an incredible friend and mom.

2023 Maine Women's Project
The 2023 Maine Women’s Project, a collaboration of portraits created by the amazing Kari Herer. These portraits depict women that I’ve been lucky enough to meet in this job or women I’m lucky enough to know by working in the state of Maine. They each share their stories of living in Maine, what they think makes it special and some of their favorite spots around our state. By launching this project, Kari and I are hoping to give these women the recognition they deserve while telling their stories. We want you to catch a glimpse of life in our state through the lens of these incredible women. Some of these women are native Mainers, some are new residents, some are subtle, some are bold. All are change makers.
