Jessica was born and raised in Minnesota. At the age of 4, she begged her parents to let her take singing lessons. Those lessons led to dance lessons - and, when someone told her she could sing and dance and act all at the same time, she was sold.

Jessica performed and trained with the Tony Award winning The Children's Theatre Company (Minneapolis, MN). She continued her education, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Boston University and a certificate of Classical Acting from The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

Jessica currently resides in New York City.
