My name is Jessica Sanchez Grimaldo and my overall goal in life is to help others while expanding my mindfulness in self development and leaving a positive impression on my daughter and the world as a whole. I have a passion for the special needs population, performing arts, and mental health. In 2020 I won the title of 'National Ms. Curvy' and have since then dedicated a majority of my time to my community. I currently serve on two non-profit boards; TheatreWorks of Northern Nevada and the Miss Nevada Scholarship Organization. I am a local theatrical performer and have begun to use my passion for musical theatre as a way to provide myself with self-care while spreading the word on how mental health matters and the benefits the performing arts can have on it. Motto: Human. Kind. Be both. & Kill Em With Kindness.
