About Your Hosts
Jessica Gavrilovski (she/her) is a Chicago transplant that fell in love with the art of storytelling back in 2022. After attending one Story Lab event, she immediately became hooked on storytelling and found it to be a space where she, among others, can freely express themselves and their personal narratives. The impact made from listening to other storytellers, with real life human experiences, and the communities formed have been profound. When not at a storytelling event, Jess can mostly be found spending time with her sassy and goofy dog, writing poetry,reading an autobiography, spending time with friends, gathering the courage to continue singing, at any coffee shop in the city, on a nature trail, or working at her 9-5 and her part-time work in the music, entertainment, and racing industry.
