ABOUT
Born to be a lover not a fighter, the baby of the Hummel clan has always found it easier to connect with animals over humans as a child, forever bringing home birds or squirrels etc that had been injured so she could nurse them back to health, her dad affectionately nicknaming her "Snow" after Snow White. Maybe it was because Jess had a bad stutter as a kid that made her functionally mute around most people because of the way kids used to bully her, but Jess became quite anxious and introverted, not one to trust easily. She knew that she could trust her family though, and thanks to their support and a lot of speech therapy, Jess now has her stutter pretty much under control. She can speak ASL as a result of the stutter, but tries really hard know not to rely on it as much, determined to put all that therapy to good use for both herself and her future furry patients, but sometimes in times of high stress/emotion/anxiety the stutter returns with a vengeance. This makes her shy around strangers, awkward around her crushes, but she remains a sassy little shit around her friends and family, Jess is excited to start vet school once she gradutes this year and grateful to SPAC for offering her a placement with them while she is. Jess also makes good use of her knowledge of ASL by volunteering with PSU to act as an interpreter during lectures, seminars, and other instances where her skills would be needed.
