Born and raised in Wilkes-Barre, PA (very close to THE Electric City, Scranton PA) Jessie has been living and working in New York City for 15+ years.

You may have seen her on Broadway in Grammy award winning Sara Bareillis' hit Waitress from 2018- 2020 (closing the original production) understudying Dawn, or in Beautiful the Carole King musical where she made her Broadway debut.

In the summer of 2022 at The Nederlander Theater in Chicago, Jessie briefly took on the lead role of Andy in the world premiere of The Devil Wears Prada musical. Originally understudying the role, Jessie was called on to perform it during the first week of previews, with no rehearsal but her own. She helped kick off the record breaking production of the new musical and returned to her ensemble track for the rest of the run. 

When not onstage or screen, you can find Jessie coaching acting through song and audition prep as an adjunct professor at Marymount Manhattan or as one of the resident educators in Ryan Scott Oliver and Lindsay Mendez' company Actor Therapy. 

If not there, she's at her favorite place, her sectional with her husband Gil and dog Jade catching an episode of Wheel of Fortune. :)
