Jessica, a multifaceted and dynamic individual, has successfully established herself as a versatile family nurse practitioner and filmmaker, proudly residing in the charming town of Petaluma, California. Her academic foundation, deeply rooted in the esteemed UCLA School of Nursing, has fostered within her a profound understanding and appreciation for the intricacies of human connection, as well as a deep-seated passion for empowering women and families through the dissemination of information.
As Jessica's professional and personal trajectories converged, she stumbled upon a captivating storyline that begged to be brought to life, thereby sparking her passion for filmmaking. This fortuitous convergence of events ultimately set her on a path to document her own odyssey to motherhood, a journey that began with the cutting-edge technology of in vitro fertilization and culminated in a low-key, intimate birth experience at home.
Jessica's inaugural cinematic endeavour, "Why not Home?", endeavors to illuminate a hitherto neglected facet of the childbirth experience, specifically delving into the narratives of hospital-based birth attendants who, defying conventional norms, chose to embark upon the transformative journey of giving birth at home.
