"I’ve had the pleasure of having Jessa as my primary aerial teacher for both silks and trapeze for nearly a year and a half. Anyone who observes Jessa perform can easily see that she is a high-level aerialist with respect to both technique and artistic expression. However, Jessa is equally impressive as an aerial teacher. She is skilled in teaching aerialists of all levels and implements strategic progressions so that students gain technical ability and theory knowledge. Jessa consistently balances encouragement with constructive criticism in a way that allows students to master skills without becoming discouraged. Most importantly, Jessa respects that each individual student has their own way and pace of learning. She adapts how she cues, demonstrates, and spots so that aerialists with diverse abilities and learning styles always feel comfortable and are safe in class. Jessa is a gem to the aerial community and comes highly recommended to any student hoping to learn new skills, advance their apparatus knowledge, and develop their individual artistry."
