MEET JESSICA
I'm a Cuban American, bilingual, Latina actress, singer-songwriter, voice over artist and label maker enthusiast. Once a voice student at the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music with dreams of the operatic stage, I took several years off from singing to find myself as an artist and human. I spent a decade in NYC as an actress appearing in many commercial campaigns, print ADs, plays, short films and TV episodes.
Maybe more than ever, the media has an incredible way of shaping society. I love that stories give us something to think about; they give us new perspectives that challenge the status quo, and teach us how to better empathize with our world. I'm especially passionate about real stories depicting strong, diverse women, that depart from tired stereotypes.
Now based in Westchester, NY, I continue to pursue my love for telling stories on camera while also writing vulnerable songs about motherhood, neurodivergence and the female experience.
