I try to remind myself that every day is a new day. I work to leave yesterday behind and always move forward. Always remember that your body is your instrument as a dancer. It needs to be cleaned, tuned, and taken care of. Treat your body well now, and it will take you places you have never imagined!

She continued her dance training in the studio and was exposed to the convention and competition world to diversify her training and find a community she still works with today. Jessica attended James Madison University and earned her Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theater. While at JMU, Jessica performed in ten productions and choreographed four additional shows. Jessica was selected to intern with the prestigious Broadway Theatre Project, working with many industry greats upon graduation.
