Jessie arriving to the set about two hours before showtime.

What's the best part about your job and why?
"I love that that every day is something new. I’m never going to have the same exact segment; each one is unique. But the best part about my job is that through it, I get to meet so many interesting people. Windy City LIVE allows me to work with nationally known designers, singers, actors, chefs, authors, etc., and I can help share their stories. Also, promoting the relatively unknown is something that gets me really excited. We have a platform in Windy City LIVE that showcases talented people who are just starting out. I love being able to help promote such great talent and shed a spotlight on them."

And the worst part?
"Early mornings! On days I have segments, I’m at the studio anywhere from 6:15 to 7 a.m. You would think that after doing it for so long that it would get easier…but for some reason, it never does!"
