Jessa Rose Sexton knew she wanted to be a teacher when she was still in kindergarten. Basing her early decision on a desire to write on the chalkboard whenever she pleased, Sexton has now developed a more sophisticated educational drive.

During her time at Harding, she performed with the Pied Pipers, an improvisational children's theatre troupe that toured schools and churches throughout sections of America and England. This organization's mission made teaching an enjoyable and relatable endeavor while at the same time valued students for their uniqueness, goals Sexton sets for herself in the classroom and in her writing.

Sexton has taught students ranging from nursery-age babies to college seniors in composition, literature, education, Bible, speech, and research courses. She also serves as executive editor of O'More Publishing and associate director of the Hilliard Institute for Educational Wellness, a sensory teaching and learning center.

In her spare time, Jessa relishes in taking walks with her husband, watching old movies, shopping with her mother, working on various book ideas, talking about education with her father, reading a good book, creating music with her husband and brother, and laughing genuinely as much as possible. She and her husband, Jay, live in downtown Franklin with their fat cat, wild kitten, and old dog.
