As a little girl in Mexico, six-year-old Jessica Perez spent many days in her Aunt Ana’s dance class practicing with the other students, until one day, someone handed her a microphone and she started singing along with the dance numbers. She remembers that day vividly as the beginning of a love for music that would guide her journey through life, and now she is sharing that love with others as a Vocal Instructor at Barton Community College.
