Jessica graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelors of Arts where she studied television writing and producing. She has always had a deep appreciation of writing and storytelling. Television has been her preferred medium because of its accessibility to a wide audience and collaborative nature. While studying at Columbia, she focused mostly on writing fiction and comedy. However, during her time as an intern at In These Times, a Chicago-based, progressive news magazine, Jess discovered her love of journalism. She also has a strong interest in social justice issues, and has previously worked on a mini-documentary series titled Unjustified chronicling the history of police brutality in Chicago.
