Jessica Nunez-Wood is a captivating, fearless, and award-winning actor who has earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of North Carolina and the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts.
Her roots run deep in the Colorado mountains, where she was raised with a strong appreciation for the film industry, being a second-generation filmmaker. Her father, a multi-Emmy-winning photojournalist, instilled in her a creative intelligence and resilience that is unmatched, focusing on serving the stories' highest good as an artist. Her mother, a former Bronco cheerleader and successful commercial actor, nurtured her poise and eloquence, which translates effortlessly in front of the camera. With a radiant smile of gratitude on her face and an eclectic production know-how, Jessica Nunez-Wood is an enchanting leading lady to watch.
Currently, Jessica is celebrating the theatrical release of "Peace River," in which she fearlessly embodies her "spitfire" persona and athleticism by playing the role of Maria Martinez, a courageous cowgirl hero with grit and a humble heart of gold.
When not preparing for her next role, Jessica can be found dressed in leathers, taking a long ride on her Yamaha FZ07, hiking a 14er, or nestled by a fire with The Good Book and herbal tea in hand.
