A certified Critical Response Process facilitator trained by Liz Lerman and John Borstel, she focused her CRP research on disability accessibility in theatermaking, in which she considered the possibility of consent-based, anticapitalist, and emergent feedback processes as assistive technologies.

A NeuroQueering theatermaker, she founded Pale Horse Craft, an award-winning Neurodiversity- and Learning Disability-centered practice, production, and performance container in 2019. A former professional modern dancer, she is currently working with choreographer Aubry Dalley on a new dance that examines the intersections of identity, America, ableism, and Autism. Recently, her play New Canaan was selected as a finalist project for the 2025-2026 Drama League Next Stage Residency. Jessica serves as the vice president of the Arthur Miller Writing Studio board.
