Q&A with Jessie

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

Tommy Caldwell - his extraordinary story of bravery, meeting & exceeding challenges and passion for making the world a better place to explore.

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to do it all - I wanted to be an actress, a scientist, a doctor, a camp director. Everything peaked my interest!

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?

I think it would be a dramedey coming of age movie set in the summer time. I would love to be played by Greta Gerwig.
