Jessica has extensive knowledge in stunting and has introduced and mastered new stunts at all levels. Safety is very important to Jessica as she believes stunting should start out basic. A clean simple stunt is much better than a sloppy advanced stunt. Many of Jessica's cheerleaders have continued on at the Varsity High School level.
