Jessica was a competitive figure skater for fifteen years, during which she learned many life skills such as discipline and work ethic. During seven of those years, she also partook in competitive swimming before fully committing herself to figure skating. Pilates was introduced to Jessica during her competitive career and played an influential role in her ability to learn how to use her body at its highest functionality for her sport. Now she is a student at The University of Texas at Dallas, studying Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in Physician’s Assistant. She has a passion for fitness and people, working as the front desk receptionist at Reform & Ride. Jessica was adopted from Russia as an infant by her American parents and has lived in Texas ever since then. She also enjoys volunteering in her free time and is an avid reader.
