Jessica grew up in Lake Stevens, WA and graduated from the Gene Juarez Academy of Beauty in August of 2005.

Throughout her high school years, Jessica enjoyed cutting and styling her friends' hair. She looked up to a good friend's older sister, Stephanie, who was into hair as well. Stephanie enrolled into beauty school and quickly began showing off her skills. This inspired Jessica to go for it!

Upon graduation from the Gene Juarez Academy of Beauty, Jessica worked at the Everett Mall Regis for almost 2 years. Says Jessica, "It was a great starting point. My goal was to establish a good client base while developing many great relationships with both clients and peers. The time came though to take the next step toward meeting my career and creative needs. Elle Marie was the perfect fit!"

In her spare time Jessica loves to paint and take part in sports and other outdoor activities. On the Elle Marie softball team she has earned the nickname "Pigpen" for her amazing triple base hits that ultimately end with her sliding into third base and emerging safe in a cloud of dust! She has always loved working with her hands, being creative in whatever way possible. She also loves children and animals...a lot! Jessica babysat growing up and worked at a daycare which she really enjoyed. Jessica had animals during her youth and recently got a beagle mix puppy named Georgio.

Jessica also loves spending time with her friends, family and boyfriend.

Jessica loves everything about hair, but is truly inspired by the opportunity to change a client's hair color and give them a completely new cut! She also can't wait to eventually have a family of her own and travel the world!
