Jessica Ziolkowski, originally from Huntley, IL, was always meant to be on the stage performing. Starting her performing life as a competitive cheerleader for fourteen years at Ultimate Athletics and ICE All-Stars, winning world championships, national championships, and local titles with her teams.

During her time in the cheer world, she was able to coach, be an athlete, connect with brands, start her modeling life and start her journey in the musical theatre world. Towards the end of her cheer career, there was the realization that she still had so much love for performing. Musical theatre was an outlet for her just like cheer was, and it all clicked, Broadway is the DREAM.

Jessica being the motivated high schooler that she was, finished her senior year a semester early to focus on working, preparing for college auditions, and finding other outlets to show her true colors. Today Ziolkowski is a recent graduate from MCC from their social media marketing program in 2020, was a part of IAMT graduating class of 2021, and is still training around NYC at Broadway Dance Center doing commercial jazz with Miles Keeney, Musical Theatre with Lizz Picini, Contemporary with Michaela McGowan, and Ballet with Deanna Doyle. During the day if she is not training or doing self tapes, you will find her getting up content for her social media pages that she runs, finding future outfits for her photoshoots, hanging out with her loving and supportive roommates, or reconnecting with her friends in the industry!
