Meet Jessica

Jessica’s life has been nothing short of amazing. Born to a teenage mother in the Siberia cold, burdened by congenital defects in her legs requiring double amputation, and placed for adoption at 13 months old, Jessica was able to persevere and become a 30x Paralympic medalist, world champion and record holder.

With an unrelenting determination and belief in herself, Jessica has been able to reach the pinnacle of her sport and maintain her position amongst the best in the world for over a decade. Now as one of America’s most decorated champions and winningest female athletes in US history, her work focuses on succeeding in the water and inspiring others outside the pool.

“With the never ending support of my family I understood that the only thing that was going to impact my future was my attitude towards my life.”
