Jessica's Story
Life
Not married, no kids, two cats : Misifuse and Pancho, serious boyfriend that I live with in Manhattan. Mostly focused on enjoying what I can afford in New York City, spending time with close friends and my boyfriend. I rarely go back to MN (at most twice a year)- I don't get a lot of time off. My mother is still teaching at Osseo Senior High- now my younger brothers are in high school. I am really focused on my career right now, because you have to "pound the pavement" for quite a well in NYC before you get your big break! Hope to come back to MN to perform at the Guthrie soon!
College
I worked too hard in school and didn't have as much fun as I should have!
Undergraduate degree at Valparaiso University: BA
Major: Theater and Television Arts Minor: Humanities
Honors: cum laude and Christ College Scholar
Valpo had a great brand new performing arts center and I was in the Honors college which only accepted 65 people a year- which was an excellent program. I went originally to Valpo to be a broadcast journalist and HATED the Communications program-so went back to theater and music! I studied overseas at Cambridge University which was awesome and wa...Expand for more
s very involved in music and theater throughout undergrad.
Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts
MFA in Acting
I auditioned and was accepted into this conservatory program out of thousands of people. They accept 20 students and cut them down to 12-14 before graduation. It was an honor to study under William Esper and learn amazing craft and technique. It was a very difficult program and I would never take it back- though it would be nice not to have as many student loans.
Workplace
I am an actress in New York City, and have already performed on Broadway in a tribute to Rutgers University which is funny because in high school I was, "most likely to be on Broadway". I perform theater regularly throughout the year in the NYC area and regionally. I have been auditioning a lot for television and hope to book something soon. I am currently working at Silver Lining Productions, where I am a Licensing and Marketing Coordinator for my "survival" job. I work with authors and artists of childrens picture books,and help companies develop products based on the books and artwork. I also am a freelance image consultant and personal shopper in my spare time.
