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.
