JESSICA RIVERA
Born and Raised in Connecticut, she’s lived in the Greater Chicagoland area, Upper West Side Manhattan, and San Antonio, Texas. Seeking to prioritize a free to “pack up and go” lifestyle, she found a passion and license for massage therapy easily support her vagabond ways. Traveling with her massage table allows her to easily support her pursuit of an Acting career wherever she goes. She attended AMDA in New York where she acquired her Associates Degree in Musical Theatre, before going to Texas to help raise her nephew Andres, and study Massage Therapy. Now reunited with his Tia Jessica thanks to the pandemic, Andres is happy to have a playmate other than his parents during quarantine, and she’s grateful to find her acting opportunities remain abundant through zoom and the connections she acquired while venturing into the phenomenal and welcoming Chicago theatre arts scene pre-apocalypse. |
