I’m Jessica! I am a professional performing artist and creative team member in theater and film.

I played the supporting role of Brandi Boardman in the upcoming feature film Candlewood, and I was the Dance Captain & Swing on the Fiddler on the Roof National Tour. I was also the Assistant Choreographer on the Fiddler on the Roof National Tour, Assistant Director for May We All: A New Country Musical at TPAC, and Associate Director for Cinderella at the Geva Theater Center.

I have 15 years of teaching experience and have guided my students through professional work, theater and TV/Film auditions, and college. My Musical Theater and Wellness Workshops have been hosted at schools around the country including University of Arizona, University of Utah, Emerson College, and Marymount Manhattan College.

My training and certifications include: BFA in Dance and BA in Psychology from Marymount Manhattan College, ABT® Teacher Training Intensive (Primary through Level 3), 200-hr Certified Yoga Teacher (LL Studio), Body Project Facilitator (National Eating Disorder Association), Trauma-Informed Yoga Training (Exhale to Inhale), Youth Protection Advocates in Dance® Safety & Wellness Certification. 

I am the creator and host of The Story Project — a podcast for artists to heal through conversation. My guests have performed on Broadway, in the NBA, in dance companies, and countless renown regional theaters. I also have a Substack newsletter that comes out weekly with essay reflections, journaling prompts, and an update on all of my offerings.

I am extremely passionate about working with students on acting, musical theater, dance, writing, yoga, wellness, creative coaching, and everything in between. I’m so looking forward to connecting with you!
