Jessica, piano, has been classically trained in piano and clarinet at an early age.  Composing songs and piano pieces has always been an enjoyable passtime.  Jessica has composed piano arrangements of Gospel songs, from the time she was 11. For her 8th grade graduation, she performed her song "It's finally here" with the student choir and musical teachers of her middle school, Read Academy in Bridgeport, CT. During her senior year of high school, the Trumbull World Guard instructors gave her the opportunity to write a piano arrangement of Michael Giacchino's "Lost" soundtrack for their 2011 show, "Hope" (a show about cancer awareness).

         Jessica recently completed another composition for Alter Ego, an Independent Color Guard group part of WGI (World Guard International).  The piece has musical quotations of past shows for their 30th anniversary celebration.  The 2016 show, 'Seated' will be performed at  WGI Championships April 2016.   Jessica completed her Bachelors at Ithaca College, where she studied Music, with a minor combining Psychology, Communications, and Film studies.
