Fun Facts:
1. Jessica first became interested in content creation as a way to showcase her creativity.
Jessica Kaylee: I was looking for a creative outlet where I could act and tell stories that resonated with Gen Z, so I started posting my own micro-dramas on my channel. I challenged myself to post a video every day for one year to see what would happen. By the end of that year I had 1 million followers, but more importantly I had found a community—a community that connected with the stories I was sharing, helping people feel seen and less alone.
2. She’s also made her own short films, working as a writer, producer, director and actress.
JK: At their core, my short films are the same as my everyday content. They tell coming-of-age stories that highlight what it is like to be a young adult. What inspires me most about them is that they give me the ability to tell more complex stories and reach more people.
3. It’s difficult for her to pick the one person who makes her laugh more than anyone else.
JK: That is really hard because my whole family shares the same sense of humor, so we are constantly making each other laugh until we cry. But if I had to choose one person, it would probably be my sister Josie. She is very funny.

4. She says the best concert she’s ever seen was Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour, “hands down.”
JK: I have been a Swiftie since her debut album. I used to memorize her songs by pausing my CD player and writing them down word for word. The Eras Tour felt like a celebration of our entire lives. It was truly the best concert ever.
5. At the moment, her dream vacation would be a trip to France.
JK: Lately I have been in the mood to travel, so right now I would say France. I am manifesting that for myself.
6. Her mom is her biggest hero.
JK: She has our back every day and would drop anything to be there for her kids. I am so thankful for her unconditional love.
7. You might not expect the subjects she excelled at in school.
JK: Math was my best subject; it always came easily to me. My worst subject was English, which is so funny because you would think that as a creative person it would be flipped.

8. Her biggest character quirk is always making up random songs.
JK: I am constantly singing, but not like good songs, just quirky little tunes about my day.
9. Her good luck ritual involves loud music.
JK: I love to blast musical theater pop songs before any big interview or audition. It gets me pumped and ready to go.
10. At the moment, Jessica’s into gourmand fragrances.
JK: My favorite scents constantly change, but right now I love warm vanilla.
