How would you best explain who Jessica is?
Jessica is a very focused and driven person who loves taking on new challenges and achieving goals most would deem impossible, she loves having wholesome healthy fun with the people she loves most!
What was the highlight of you shoot with Marc Dryden-Schofield?
My Highlight was seeing the final product of his photography, his skills and talent are unparalleled…he never fails to surpass my expectations!
What goes through your mind when you are in front of the camera?
“Don’t giggle” [laughs]. I’m actually not a natural model, it took me 3 shoots to figure out my serious face and every shoot I still giggle.
What would your ultimate shoot consist of?
I would really like to do a shoot on the beach.
What drives you to live the fitness lifestyle?
Fitness has always been a component of my life. I was a gymnast and I did athletics, both these activities require a lot of time and practice. When I was done with school I automatically was drawn to the discipline required to do fitness, it was an incredible challenge and still is everyday… small daily goals!
What workouts are your favorite?
I love my core and glute workouts because I believe a strong core and good glutes makes me a better rounded athlete.
What do you like to get up to during your off time?
I absolutely love dancing and spending time with my family and friends.
What do the words “sex appeal” mean to you?
Sex appeal is the way in which someone carries themselves, if you believe in who you are and you have your own style, which you carry with confidence, you have sex appeal.
What parts of a guy’s body are attractive to you?
Quads, Calves and Back.
What’s a big no no when if comes to physique?
If a guy has a massive upper body and no legs.
Would you consider yourself naught or nice?
No I’m definitely not naughty [laughs]. I’m nice, I’m the chick that becomes one of the guys. I love having good clean fun, camping etc. I don’t drink when I go out, water is my drink.
What are your goals for 2017?
My goals for 2017 are to finish my Exercise Science course at HFPA and to start my Business Law Degree and Unisa, I’m also prepping for WBFF with Essie Aesthetics which is super exciting because my coach, Tarryn Heather Zelow, is the best.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when we mention:
Good times? This past New Years in Namibia. I met the most incredible people.
Late nights? Going out dancing with my best friend, Alicia Pinto.
Early mornings? Fasted cardio.
Summer holidays? Beach, sea, sun and summer bodies.
Aspiring? Myself, aspiring to be the best I can be.
Sensual? Fifty Shades of Grey [laughs]
