Felicia Castillo
Bridesmaid
The first friend Jess ever had in America. Introduced to her in 2000 but their friendship didn't become strong until the middle school years. Jess would spend almost every weekend at Felicia's house.

Those years together made such a strong impact on Jess's life that no matter the distance or circumstances in life, the friendship between them will always make it through.

Bridesmaid
Jess and Manisha have been friends since their early 20s. Introduced to each other through a mutual friend but instantly bonded over equal career choices.

When working together, they discovered they were taking the same classes at Kean and decided to work, commute and go to class everyday together. What a blast!

Shelby quickly became one of Jess's favorite people! Her love for dogs instantly connected the both of them.
