The holiday season is upon us and this month is all about food, football and family time. No one is more excited about celebrating Thanksgiving than Jessica, a third year veteran of the Seminole Hard Rock Girls Calendar. Every year she looks forward to visiting family, enjoying a big Thanksgiving feast and planning Black Friday shopping trips with her sisters. A Plant City, Florida resident, Jessica has been a member of the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa family for four and a half years. Jessica can be found at Council Oak Steaks & Seafood where she works as a server. What she love most about her job is having the opportunity to cater to a variety of people that visit the casino and truly give them a million dollar moment when it comes to top notched guest service.

Jessica is known for her kindness, hard-working nature and determination which are qualities of a great brand ambassador. Her passion for philanthropy and partnership with November’s charity of the month, Metropolitan Ministries, is a perfect match. Metropolitan Ministries is one of Jessica’s favorite charities because they do so much for the Tampa Bay community by providing comprehensive care for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. Jessica is true a gem and Seminole Hard Rock Tampa couldn’t be more honored to have her continue the tradition as a Seminole Hard Rock Calendar Girl in 2017.

• Do you have a favorite Hard Rock memorabilia item?

I love the record album wall by Winner’s Way Garage entrance/exit.

• What is your favorite Seminole Hard Rock Tampa restaurant?

Council Oak Steaks & Seafood because they dry-age and hand cut all their steaks and lamb chops in house. They are also known for their exquisite wines. Council Oak takes quality to a whole new level and that is what makes this restaurant priceless.

• What is your favorite holiday movie?

Charlie Brown Christmas. Growing up my family and I would always bake cookies, decorate the Christmas tree and watch Charlie Brown Christmas. It’s a special tradition!

• What is the best advice you’ve ever been given?

You’re in charge of your own success! My parents always taught me that if I wanted to be successful in life, I needed to do my best to reach those goals. I was in charge and am my own boss.

• If you can go back in time, what year would you travel to?

It would be the 20s. I love the Great Gatsby era when it comes to clothes and the music.

• Tell us a fun fact about you that people may not know?

I was home schooled until college.
