She is a graduate of Hamilton High School and an alumna of Marquette University, where she earned a B.A. in Communication Studies and Spanish.

The educational opportunities provided to her led to Jessie’s interest in promoting the benefits of the Parental Choice Program. As a legislator, she is able to combine her insight on the communities she represents with her vast knowledge of the Choice Program to work on innovative education reforms to ensure quality education for all students.
