Deeply into when music and movies intersect, from knowing the hype musical tracks of Mamma Mia!, beautiful scores of Michael Giacchino and yes, the absolute banger Twilight soundtrack way too well. She is also passionate about highlighting and interviewing voices within the industry to help open the door for Hollywood to better represent the world through movies and television. Horror, she really loves horror movies. The world of animation as well... OK don't make her pick one genre.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What She's Excited About Right Now</strong>: The continued resurgence of horror and musicals.

She loves a good animated movie.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Jessica has a Masters in Library Science degree from Indiana University, and used to be found behind a reference desk most definitely not shushing people.

When not at the movie theater or in a theme park, her other free time is spent in book clubs, hiking, drinking wine, binge-watching, keeping tabs on celebrity fashion and riding rollercoasters.

Will bake for compliments.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What She’s Excited About Right Now</strong>: &nbsp;Hallmark Christmas movie season.

In the non-media realm, Riley is a massive college basketball fan. She is a firm believer that the Gonzaga men’s basketball team is the best team of all time, and she is patiently waiting for the day they finally win a national championship.
