Profile

Jessica, from Southlake, Texas, began performing with the Las Vegas Raiderettes in 2025. The team selected her as its Week 11 Raiderette of the Game for the military appreciation game, with a profile about her work as both a rookie dancer and a first lieutenant serving as an engineer in the U.S. Air Force.

At the Air Force Academy, she double majored in electrical and computer engineering and applied math. The Air Force later funded her master's degree in engineering robotics at Johns Hopkins University. In her team biography, she describes an enthusiasm for math alongside her love of dance, and a desire to keep improving as an engineer.

Her 2026 Raiderettes biography marks her second season and continues to list her profession as an Air Force first lieutenant and engineer. She says Las Vegas's military community and support for service members have made her feel welcome. After her military service, she hopes to coach dance and encourage young girls to pursue their goals.

A 2025 team feature noted that her father was a former U.S. Army soldier and her sister was then an Air Force service member. In that feature, Jessica credited her family's support and said they helped her through difficult moments.
