Jess is a Chicagoland native from Highland Park, IL, and is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at Western Michigan University, with plans to graduate in May 2026. After graduation, she intends to further her education by earning a Master’s degree in Sport Psychology.

Her passion for sports and human performance is rooted in her athletic background, which includes years of gymnastics, competitive swimming, and dance through her freshman year of college. Today, she continues to swim recreationally, hike, and has developed a newfound love for running.

After experiencing sports-related injuries, Jess was drawn to weightlifting and strength training. This journey sparked a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection, which now fuels her commitment to helping others reach new limits—physically and mentally. She is driven to share the importance of holistic athletic development, combining mental resilience with physical performance, in both her personal pursuits and professional work!
