Meet Jess!
23 years ago, Jess was born in Boston, Massachusetts (GO CELTICS!) with an esophageal and tracheal birth defect called TEFEA. Her surgeon warned her parents that she may never speak. Eight years later, she enrolled in voice lessons. The irony.
Now, she is an actor and singer. She's a 2024 graduate from NYU Tisch, where she studied both musical theater and acting on screen. At graduation, she received the Tisch Drama "Outstanding Achievement in Studio" award for Stonestreet Studios school of screen acting. In New York, Jessica worked as a producer and performer at renown venues such as 54 Below and The Green Room 42. She also trained with HOWL Voice Method Founder Jacob Thomas Carr to voice teach, and now has her own Tampa-based voice studio. She has performed professionally in theatres around the country, but resides in Tampa, FL, where she continues to pursue her artistic career.
In her free time, Jess can be seen at a group fitness class, watching a (Boston) game, or running around a theme park with her best friends. She's constantly inspired by her family and chosen family, and wouldn't be able to live life without them. All the love!

Vocal Coaching
"Si canta come si parla" (one sings as one speaks). I have been taking voice lessons since I was eight years old, with over a dozen teachers. If there is one thing I have learned after getting my BFA at NYU and taking over a decade of voice lessons, it is that your voice is your fingerprint.
​
As a teacher, I want to utilize the sounds that we make naturally as humans, and extend them into singing. Because, as the Italians say, we truly sing as we speak. When we are angry, we “belt.” When we laugh, we often laugh in a higher register. The accessibility for those sounds are there, we just have to discover them on pitch (and learn to control them). My goal as a teacher is to help you achieve your singing goals, create healthy habits, and explore your uniqueness as a singer. Because not one person in the WORLD sounds the same as you!
