In just under 10 minutes, Jess beautifully captured the essence of Nikka Yuko—sharing the sounds, stories, and serenity of the Garden with listeners across Alberta and beyond. Her passion and presence truly brought the space to life! 💮

When Jess isn’t interpreting the beauty of the Garden, she’s making waves in the local theatre scene with New West Theatre and Lethbridge Shakespeare Performance Society—as an actor, director, playwright, and now, voice actor!

👏 Thank you, Jess, for representing the Garden with such heart. You make us proud! 🌸🎧
