Childhood and education

Jess was raised in Los Angeles alongside her two older sisters, Madison and Abby by their father Michael Gabor who is the owner of a small business, and their mother Vicki who is a housewife.

Jess became interested in acting while attending high school, and practiced her acting skills with the school’s drama club, appearing in nearly all the plays performed there as well in several performed at a community theatre. She launched her professional acting career upon matriculating in 2014, as she portrayed Veronica in the drama film “Veiled Reality”, but which failed to attract a lot of attention – it follows two teenagers, Gaya and Alice who meet after years of being apart, only to learn that they are both facing the same problems in life.

After her debut performance, Jess enrolled at Loyola Marymount University from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2017, and then practiced acting at the Moscow Art Theatre.

Roles in movies

The year 2014 also saw Jess appear in two short movies, “Unspoken” and “Last Seen”, while the following year saw her portray the lead character Mathilde in the short fantasy film “Sparks”; written and directed by Tancredi Di Paola, the movie follows a witch who has to rescue her best friends without letting anyone know about her powers.

In 2017, Jess played one of the lead characters in the horror mystery drama “The Twin”, which also starred Brigid Brannagh and Timothy Granaderos, which received mixed reviews.

The year 2018 saw her play Melissa in the Spanish comedy “Bachelor Lions”, which failed to attract a lot of attention, while the same year saw her star in three shorts: “Faith”, “Her Story” and “Murder for Dummies”. She was praised for her portrayal of Carrie in the 2019 mystery horror thriller “Confessional”, but the movie itself received poor reviews. Later in 2019 Jess played the lead character, Mo in the short science fiction “Sky Fighter”, written and directed by Lukas Kendall, and which follows two pilots fighting against aliens in the future.

Jess then appeared in a couple of movies such as the 2019 drama “Breckman Rodeo”, the horror thriller “Run Sweetheart Run” and the  drama “Gringa” both in 2020 – her most recent role in a movie has been in the action science fiction “Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks”, which is set to be released on 12 January 2021.

Love life and relationships

Other people claim that she is a lesbian who is currently in a relationship with a girl, and that Jess is avoiding talking about it because of how it might effect her career.
