Jess is a graduate of Avon High School, where she played volleyball before continuing her athletic and academic career at Thomas More University. Throughout her club career, she played for Circle City Volleyball Club, primarily as a middle blocker before transitioning to a 6-rotation outside hitter in college. At Thomas More, Jess competed in Division II volleyball while earning her degree in Exercise and Health Strategies, with minors in Sports Administration and Business Administration.

Jess began training with Stacy in 2020 in her garage, where she developed a deeper understanding of what it truly means to train like an athlete. Through a focus on strength, explosiveness, movement, and sustainable healthy habits, that experience sparked her passion for athlete development and helping others reach their full potential.

Now, as the Director of Performance and Operations at Indy Hybrid Performance Club, Jess plays a key role in both athlete development and the day-to-day operations of the business. She helps lead performance training while also overseeing and supporting marketing, promotions, administrative work, event planning, organization, and the continued growth of IHPC. Her background as a former collegiate athlete, combined with her education in exercise, business, and sports administration, allows her to contribute to both the development of athletes and the growth of the IHPC community.

Throughout her athletic career, Jess faced multiple sports-related injuries, including bulging discs, shoulder surgery, and stress reactions. Those experiences gave her a deeper appreciation for proper training, recovery, exercise, and nutrition. They also helped shape her passion for helping athletes build strength, confidence, healthy habits, and a strong foundation for long-term athletic development.

Jess still loves staying active, training, and spending time outdoors. Outside of IHPC, she enjoys spending time with her fiancé, friends, family, and her blue nose pit, Ivy, who she loves to spoil. She also enjoys traveling, online shopping, and, of course, hibachi!
