Personal Snapshot
Jess and her husband welcomed a daughter in the fall of 2025. Parenthood has changed their lives in so many new and exciting ways. While sleep is a luxury, she wouldn’t change it for anything. The new normal includes lots of family walks and playtime with their three dogs. You can also find Jess catching a Formula One race or attending as many concerts as she possibly can.
