Jess is a fitness instructor by day, grad student by night, and full-time cat mom 24/7. Jess has taught Pure Barre for the last 6 years and is ready to pick up some dumbbells and get her hands a little dirty. Outside of Ripped, you can find her reading (please chat to her about your book recommendations) or yapping her face off at happy hour. She can’t live without pancakes, pop punk music, and my friends would say I’m driven, loud, and always in the mood to dance.
