I’m a California native whose love for storytelling has taken me from San Diego to Baltimore, and now to Las Vegas!

Born and raised in Stockton, I left home at 18 to attend San Diego State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Applied Arts and Sciences, majoring in Television, Film, and New Media.

In 2013, I discovered my love for radio while interning at iHeart San Diego. From intern to promotions assistant, assistant producer, and eventually on-air talent, that passion became a career. I worked on Channel 93.3’s morning shows, including Kramer and Geena and Geena the Latina and Frankie V., while hosting overnights, club mixes, and fill-in shifts across Channel 93.3, JAM’N 95.7, and Star 94.1.

That journey brought me across the country to Baltimore, where I spent six years co-hosting The Kramer and Jess Morning Show on Audacy’s Mix 106.5. In 2023, I received a Gracie Award for my work in broadcasting. Connecting with listeners became one of the most meaningful parts of my life, whether we were laughing through the morning or coming together to support our community.

Beyond radio, I was a weekly contributor to FOX45’s B’More Lifestyle, sharing lifestyle stories and local highlights. Through my work with the Maryland Office of Tourism, I’ve also explored communities across the state, creating content that celebrates the people, small businesses, and experiences that make each destination special.

Most recently, I delivered the closing keynote at the 2026 Main Street Maryland Conference in Hagerstown. My presentation, More Than a Post: Telling the Stories That Bring Places to Life, explored how authentic content can help communities connect with people and invite them to experience a place for themselves. Getting to share that message onstage opened an exciting new chapter in my work as a speaker.

I also host Life in Bloom with Jess, a podcast featuring conversations with inspiring people in my life, alongside personal reflections on growth, change, and finding your way. It’s a space for honest stories, meaningful connection, and reminders that we’re not alone as we navigate life and bloom in our own time.

Now based in Las Vegas, I’m bringing my experience in broadcasting, content creation, destination storytelling, and live events into this next chapter. I’m excited to collaborate with brands, communities, and organizations that value meaningful connection.

At the heart of it all, my mission is simple: to use my voice and storytelling to connect, inspire, and make a meaningful impact. Whether I’m behind a microphone, creating a video, or standing onstage, I want people to feel seen, heard, and welcome. I share my own life along the way… with humor, heart, and the hope that something in my story helps someone feel connected to theirs.
