As a music educator, she is a sensitive teacher of piano, violin, and vocal techniques, has conducted choral groups of adults and children alike, and is able to easily gain a good rapport with students of all ages.

Jesse is a dog lover and proud to call her four canines her "pack". She loves to cook, sew, paint and craft, but mostly loves her work in music and teaching. She has been blessed with one daughter, Shayla, who is talented in her own right, and is Jesse's best friend.
