I have been playing basketball ever since I can remember. My family has always been very athletic. My siblings played basketball as well as my parents. My grandma told me a story about how I used to shoot a little basketball into a 10 foot hoop and I would make it. I play in the point guard position. I work very hard at what I do so that makes me advance in my skill for the sport. When I really started to realize I had a passion for it was in 6th grade. We had a lot of new people therefore our team didn't blend great. But even with my team being the way it was I still put everything that I had into it.

Basketball is what I dedicated myself to as a kid. Through the years I have had many trainers and professionals guide me to a level that I am proud of today.

After being at a basketball exposure tour for 2 days in Portugal, I was immediately flown to Oldenburg Germany to begin my brief but educational professional basketball career.

My love for sport is what drives me most, and I strive to instill that love in the players I train.

"My daughter has been working with Jessica for about six months now, and the transformation has been incredible. Not only has her defense improved dramatically, but her overall court awareness and decision-making are so much sharper. Jessica pushes her in the best way, she sets high expectations but creates such a positive environment that my daughter never feels defeated. She's also been really flexible with scheduling, which is a lifesaver with our crazy travel season. Worth every penny!
