This biracial, bilingual Latina enjoys confusing everyone with her Colombian and Pennsylvania Dutch/German looks! Jessy is dedicated to providing opportunities for underrepresented people to share their stories and loves to explore how art can create empathy and bridge the gap between different communities. An adventurer at heart, she has had the privilege of learning from the stories of people from the many different countries she’s visited, from China to India to Colombia and more. There is nothing better than experiencing the world through someone else’s eyes, and mirroring these stories through art.
Committed to telling more Latine stories, Jessy has both performed in theatrical productions centering around Latine culture and produces Philly’s only all Latine burlesque show, “Wepa!”
Jessy also maintains an active private voice and piano studio throughout the Philadelphia area. When not performing, Jessy can be found on a yoga mat, riding her bike through the city, or snuggling her two loves E and P (as well as her pup), and striving to be someone who always chooses adventure.
