I live to tell stories. I believe that empathy is the at the center of storytelling, and my greatest act as an artist is to empathize. My work is based in Chicago, IL.

Born and raised in Southern California, Jess now calls Chicago home. Jess received her BFA from The University of Michigan, and her MFA from The Theatre School at DePaul. She has found a creative and artistic home studying the Michael Chekhov Technique with The Michael Chekhov School. Jess is represented by the wonderful team at Big Mouth Talent.
