My name is Jessica and I've been skydiving now for 3 years. I have around 170 jumps and I mostly jump in southern California. What brought me into skydiving most was the community; the sunset BBQ's, the stories around the campfire, and meeting some of the coolest, strangest, and most talented people I've ever met in my life. The sport is consistently evolving and I find myself constantly learning within it.
