Jessica currently works as the service manager at a ramen joint, having previously worked in a variety of other fields as well, including education, technology, and even farm labor. In her free time, she enjoys running immersive Dungeons & Dragons campaigns with friends in a world of her own creation. She is a transgender woman, a lesbian, and an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Her faith journey has been guided by personal revelation and a loving Heavenly Father, helping her navigate her transition with spiritual confidence. She cherishes opportunities to help LGBTQ+ individuals find hope in living authentically while maintaining a strong relationship with their faith. As a youth counselor at Gather for Youth last year, she saw firsthand how visibility can empower and inspire hope in others. This year, she hopes she can do the same for you.
