About Coach Jessica

When I was six years old, I witnessed my first live halftime show and immediately fell in love with baton twirling. Shortly after, my parents enrolled me in majorette lessons thus beginning my career from grade school twirler, high school drum major, feature twirler, majorette captain/choreographer, as well as an apprentice coach. I have participated in half-time performances, parades and recitals, in addition to camp competitions. Moreover, I have won several awards for my performances including the prestigious Excellence Award from the DeVenney Halftime USA Camp and the Outstanding Leadership in Twirling Award. Over the years, my routines have included single and double baton, hoop, ribbon, glow stick and fire batons, as well as group and duet performances.

I have found that skills learned while twirling can be applied to a vast range of disciplines including my work as a collegiate instructional support tutor, physical therapy technician, library assistant, as well as achieve degrees in Biology and Medical Laboratory Science. The discipline and pursuit of perfection I learned at a young age led to my career as an environmental chemist and medical microbiologist. I have now entered a new chapter in my life and returned to the sport I love: coaching young twirlers. My goal is to help them reach their dreams and strive for perfection.
