Performer. Comedian. storyteller.
Hi there! I'm Jessica or Jess or Jessi - your choice.
​
I'm a Tennessee based Actress currently receiving a BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in Dance at Ohio Northern University.​ I love to do everything within the arts - acting, singing, dancing, improv, stand-up comedy, song-writing, film, piano, and writing. Probably some others I'm forgetting too.
​
Not only do I love to do many things within the theatre, but I also enjoy multiple styles of performing. I've played the golden age ingenue Irene Malloy from Hello Dolly, the disabled war veteran Jess from Ugly Lies the Bone, the wacky suspects from Murder for Two, and many different princesses for Briar Patch Princess Parties. If it's an acting challenge I'm all over it.
​
One might say I'm a combination of Rapunzel and Ryan Reynalds with a hint of Captain America. Weird combo, I know, but it makes sense if you know me.
​
When I'm not performing you can find me painting, lightsaber battling my friends, paddleboarding, and watching movies! Check out my about me page if you just can't get enough of me ;)

​
"The best show I've ever seen."
HELLO DOLLY
"Just plain funny."
​
"She is such a good actor. I watch her and it's just all there."

UGLY LIES THE BONE
"I've never seen an actor Jessica's age give such an incredible performance."

"She gave a performance that captured the way veterans really feel when they come back home. I've never seen anyone represent that experience as accurately as she did."
