As a proud domestic violence survivor Jess began her career by sharing her story of survival to help not only give the voiceless a voice, but to raise awareness around a cause that isn’t discussed enough. She has since created a beautiful career centered around teaching others that life’s lowest moments don’t have to break us, instead they can build us into the leaders and survivors we were destined to be!

To see her now you would never guess that by the age of 23 she was a single mom of two kids still in diapers, had lost her own mother to a terminal disease, left her abusive first husband, and was on any kind of government assistance available. She may be a busy mama of four and wife, but her passion to serve others through sharing her story continues to drive her. One minute you’ll find Jess on stage pouring into the audience, decked out in sequins + stilettos, and the next you’ll see her on Instagram in a robe with messy mom hair starting the day with her famous “Good Morning Good Morning”. Whether you hear one of her keynotes, connect with her online, or work with her organization “I Choose Hope”, Jess is sure to leave a smile on your face and an extra ounce of inspiration in your heart.
