Jessica Giddens

Jessica Giddens is heading into her second year in Clemson University’s ClemsonLIFE Hospitality Certificate Program this fall as this year’s Ruby’s Rainbow Scholarship Award recipient, with graduation expected in Spring 2027.

Jessica has already had her share of star moments: she was selected Homecoming Queen for her high school and even made a guest appearance on The Steve Harvey Show. With a long term goal of building a career in the entertainment industry, it’s clear Jessica has star quality. For now, she’s working toward living independently and landing a job at Delish Sisters Restaurant at the Shepherd Hotel in Clemson.

Jessica loves to dance, make TikTok videos, and write scripts for plays, all creative outlets that feed her entertainment industry dreams.

Jessica, your star is only rising. Wishing you a fantastic second year, with that career in entertainment waiting for you!
