HELLO.

I'M JESS

After drawing inspiration from my adventures in Los Angeles and New York City, I made my way back to my Midwestern roots in Chicago. From there, I've honed experience in digital news and long-form writing, entertainment journalism, celebrity and sports reporting, event management and more.

 

My work has been featured in Us Weekly, where I spent more than two years as a staff writer on the digital news team before taking the leap back into the freelance world in September 2019. In my over 8 years of red carpet reporting for Us, I've had the privilege of interviewing celebrities including Justin Timberlake, Gabrielle Union and many more.

 

Other outlets I've contributed to include ESPN, Elite Daily, Motherly, and Parade Magazine as well as travel and lifestyle writing for Bespoke Concierge Magazine and Newport Beach Magazine. I have also spent time writing powerful pieces for APlus.com and penning a dating and relationship section for About.com.

 

Beyond my writing work, I've worked as a nationwide event manager where I've traveled all over the United States and sharpened my people skills. Outside of the box, I've coached high school softball and taught a journalism program to children and teens in Chicago, something I am very proud of.

 

Next up ... ready to tackle a variety of projects including getting my foot into the sports world and writing Lifetime movie scripts on the side. I'd love to work with you, so don't hesitate to reach out!
