Jessica’s most famous accomplishment was learning how to fly. It took three states, four airplanes, three flight instructors, and three years to find the right aircraft: a 1946 415C Ercoupe Airplane. In 2008 Jessica earned her Light Sport
Pilot Certificate. She received the Guinness World Record for being the first person certified to fly an airplane with
only their feet in 2011.
In May 2012, Jessica married in the beautiful city of South Pasadena, CA. In the fall of that same year, Jessica became
a Goodwill Ambassador for Handicap International, a Nobel Peace Prize winning NGO and has advocated for disability rights in Ethiopia, Philippines and the US Senate.

aptitudes. Jessica believes in combining creativity, desire, persistence, and fearlessness; with them, nothing is impossible. In her presentation, she will dig deep into her experiences living armless in a two-handed world and share how
these four elements helped her achieve the seemingly impossible.

Right Footed, the Documentary
In November 2011, Jessica teamed up with Emmy-Award-winning filmmaker Nicholas Spark to begin production of
a documentary chronicling Jessica’s life. Throughout a difficult childhood filled with bullying and heartache Jessica
fought for dignity and independence. She now works as a mentor to children with disability and their families in the
USA and abroad, helping them overcome their situations just as her own mentor once helped her. It is a story about
the power of inspiration and mentorship and about how everyone -- those with visible disabilities and those without
-- can find power within themselves.
Tax deductible donations are still needed to finish production. The trailer and more information can be found at
