You can catch me recurring as "Merlene" in the 2nd season of Awkwafina is Nora From Queens on Comedy Central. Additional credits include Homeland, Bull, The Blacklist, One Tree Hill, and many snack commercials. If you want to practice ad-lib, I'm your gal!

I'd love to be your reader! I'm able to quickly adapt to different genres of sides and am a versatile and adept reader. I'm also willing to offer coaching through a warm and supportive approach, using my own extensive experience of the craft.

I specialize in helping actors get imaginative with their choices and find comfort in bringing themselves to their take so that they can allow their uniqueness to shine. Let's get to work and have fun doing it!

" Jes was absolutely stupendous. I mean I literally could not have asked for a better partner that day. She gave me exactly what I was looking for and more. We were able to run through lines until I became familiar. She gave me the space to make my own choices.
