Born in Hà Nội, Việt Nam and raised in Massachusetts and Guam, Jessica has always identified as a third culture kid and as part of Generation 1.5. Seeking to understand this place in the diaspora, she writes multi-cultural stories that aim to represent her communities, connect generations, and liberate those who have been Othered.
