From a young age, Jessica has loved singing, playing, and listening to very different styles of music. Since she couldn't pick just one style to study, she earned classical singing and voice pedagogy degrees from Alderson-Broaddus University and Meredith College and then studied at the CCM Voice Pedagogy Institute in CCM genres like soul, R&B, blues, jazz, funk, country, and musical theatre. In her private studio, she teaches students of all ages, skill levels, and genres. She also teaches voice pedagogy at Marietta College. She is an Advanced Voice Specialist Certified Teacher in the Royal Conservatory Music Development Program and has completed the highest certification in Somatic Voicework™ The LoVetri Method, a scientifically-based approach that keeps voices healthy in whatever genres singers choose. She is a member of NATS, The Voice Foundation, MENC, and ACDA.
