Born in 1983 in Arizona，US，Jessica has learned to live her life with her feet. She was born without arms，and no doctors could figure out why.
There were many questions at the time about whether Jessica would be able to live a “normal” life. However，Jessica’s father said，“I have never shed a tear about her birth condition. “With the support of her parents and family，Jessica became confident in herself as an adult and continued to explore the world with her feet.
As a child，Jessica studied dance in her hometown.When the first performance arrived，she asked to be put in the back row. Her dance teacher told her there was no back row. Nervously，she took the stage with the other students and performed her routine. When she finished，the applause from the audience gave her encouragement and the confidence to continue dancing for 14 years.
After graduating from high school，Jessica attended the University of Arizona，where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. When talking about her major，she frequently explains that psychology has a great effect on her life，helping her out of a physical limitation.
During college，Jessica signed up for a club of Taekwondo(跆拳道)and learned all of the color belt material. The instructors created a course that would be accessible to any future armless students. Jessica became the first armless person to earn a black belt in the club.
Jessica’s most famous accomplishment was learning how to fly. It took three states，four airplanes，two flight instructors and a discouraging year to find the right aircraft. She received the Guinness World Record for being the first person permitted to fly an airplane with only her feet.
Now Jessica works as a motivational lecturer.She travels the world sharing her story and encouraging people to be creative with the slogan“Think outside the shoe.”
