Jessica grew up in Warren, NJ, a JAPy commuter suburb of NYC and attended NYU's Tisch School of the Arts via the Atlantic Theater Company. She graduated, stopped pretending she was interested in classic texts, and moved to LA, where, at the recommendation of her college Shakespeare teacher who realized sitcoms would be a WAY better fit, she started studying with Lesly Kahn. She is still in class with Lesly and is on the faculty there, as well. When Jessica isn't in or teaching class at Lesly Kahn and Co, she's probably obsessing over elite gymnastics, doing hot yoga, or at Disneyland. Her favorite celebrity is Suri Cruise and her favorite character of fiction is Karen Walker. She collects presidential PEZ dispensers and wants to be Selina Meyer when she grows up. Show less «
