Acting

After performing as the title character in a five month boxing rendition of Hamlet in Seattle, WA, Jesse moved to Los Angeles and booked her first film "Boy Erased," starring opposite Joel Edgerton and Lucas Hedges. Learning from other incredible co-stars, Jesse discovered she had a passion for intimate, complex and multifaceted roles and stories that dive into what it means to be human. Reviews have called Jesse's performance in "Boy Erased" as "harrowing" as well as her character Sarah's world "a story that needs to be explored." Soon after, Jesse booked a part in the lead ensemble "There's Someone Inside Your House" from Netflix, directed by Patrick Brice, as well as produced by Shawn Levy's 21 Laps Entertainment and James Wan's Atomic Monster Productions. Post pandemic, Jesse has been breaking into the independent film scene. She stars in indie project "RAPT", directed by Margot Budzyna and Executive Produced by Andrew Carlberg. Debuting and running in national and international awards-qualifying festivals and an official selection of the 2025 Artios Awards, she won Best Actress in her category for "RAPT" at Boston Film Festival. She can be seen next in director Noam Argov's newest project Verse, coming later this year, and is attached to a Covid-era independent feature, "Chalet," filming this fall.
