Jessica grew up in Revere, MA where she began dancing at Nicole Zervas Dance Academy (NZDA) at the age of 6. Jessica trained in ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, and contemporary throughout her life. In high school she also attended the Marblehead School of Ballet for additional ballet and pointe classes. Jessica attended Quinnipiac University for undergrad and joined the hip hop dance team, Dance Fusion, where she eventually became President, and gained experience in choreographing for a large group of 30 dancers. She stayed at Quinnipiac for her Master’s in Strategic Communication and created her own graduate dance team: Evolution. After graduate school, Jessica moved back home and began teaching at her childhood dance studio. Now, Jessica works at the MGH Institute as the Associate Director of Admission, teaches hip hop and contemporary at NZDA, and runs an astrology-inspired small business, Lunar Living.

Above all else, dance is Jessica’s passion and DanceWorks Boston has given her the joy of learning and performing again. This is Jessica’s fourth season with DanceWorks Boston and second season choreographing. She is so excited and grateful for this new experience!
