Jessica has been jet-skiing since she was 19 years old. She decides, two years later, to leave her original job to do a federal jet-ski instructor and work in her passion.
She dreamed of competing, but impossible for lack of financial means.
It was not until 2012, with the help of sponsors, that she slowly started competing in the regional championship and then in the French championship.
The following years, the lack of means earned him difficult seasons.
​
It was in 2018 with the arrival of her biggest partner ESPACE-K that Jessica was offered a brand new jet-ski with the possibility of leaving for a few Grand Prix of the world championship! His dream !
The following years were exponential with the arrival of other partners, a great physical and mental preparation but also the development of the jet-ski engine.
The adventure finally begins!!
