Supporting comments: "Bright, insightful and diligent, in the classroom she is a strong academic leader and excellent role model for her peers. Jessie has shown impressive insight and ability as a theatre artist. Her costume designs have been both imaginative and practical, and her execution, both of her own designs and those of others, has been of a consistently high quality. Well-liked by her fellow students, co-workers and her teachers, she makes a sincere effort to be helpful and cooperative at all times. She is a multi-talented student who has always approached her studies with passion, skill, maturity, academic rigor, and a genuine thirst for understanding."
