Jesse is a pure example that if you work hard rewards are not far away. Coming from humble beginnings she had to claw her way to breaking into the modeling / fashion scene. First, to be able to even attend a university to begin her journey she earned an Athletic Scholarship for Division One Tennis. This was due to her mastering the sport and using it to her advantage. She would go on to attend St. Peter’s University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in marketing management.
Besides tennis she was a born leader as she proved it when she earned a position as treasurer for the John T. Coughlin History Club which led to her becoming a fashion coordinator for F.A.M.E. and the president of the Business Law Association and as a member of the Goldman Sachs Local College Collaborative (LCC). Jesse received her inspiration to enter the fashion / entertainment world by her aunt who was involved in film and pageantry. Outside of her aunt she always looked up to celebs like Heidi Klum and Adrianna Lima for their perseverance. She never let go of tennis of course as she ranked member of the United States Tennis Association.
Her first dip into the pool of modeling came when she showcased high-end watches for companies Redo and Hamilton for the Luxury Jewelry Campaign for Diamond Hut Jewelers. Last year she took the runway at the ATFH Fashion House Runways and the Unknown Origin Life Runway. After the dip she was off and swimming when she took Top Model honors at Fashion Week 2025. Following this accomplishment she would model for the luxury car brand Lamborghini event in Paramus New Jersey. Jesse, being a car fan to begin with, only fueled her desire to be a part of the event.
Only recently in April of 2025 at the Royal Albert’s Palace Jesse took away the winning of My Dream TV U.S.A.’s Miss International 2025 competition. It was a major feather in her cap and would for sure propel her to newer pastures.
“The last time a Resurreccion placed in Miss International was 65 years ago. Her name is Edita Resurreccion Vital, and she is my great aunt, who won Miss Philippines in 1960 and was the first Filipina to compete as Miss Philippines in the Miss International Beauty Pageant in Long Branch, California. I carried the same generational love in my smile on the catwalk. Experiencing an empowering female community makes me relive the love of pageantry that once captivated her decades ago. I remember her truly as a gorgeous soul, completely, and for another Resurreccion to be crowned generations later is to keep our love of diplomacy and beauty vibrant.”
Currently, Jesse is still playing tennis and is looking forward to the US Open in September. So far, Jesse has had a full plate for 2025 and is looking for new opportunities as they present themselves.
