Jes­si­ca Shorstein is from North­east Penn­syl­va­nia (where Old Forge piz­za played a strong role in her upbring­ing) and is a grad­u­ate of New York Uni­ver­si­ty and Amer­i­can Uni­ver­si­ty’s Col­lege of Law. While Israel, New York City, and Wash­ing­ton, DC will for­ev­er be in her DNA, Jes­si­ca now lives in Jack­sonville, Flori­da with her hus­band, three chil­dren, and their lab mix.
