She earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Marymount University in 2020 and later completed her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, allowing her to incorporate advanced knowledge of movement, performance, and injury prevention into her coaching.

Jessie believes in a quality-over-quantity training philosophy and is committed to recognizing each athlete as an individual, supporting their growth both in and out of the pool.
