Biography[edit]
Jéssica Annais de La Peña Camargo was born in New York, and at the age of five she migrated to Barranquilla with her parents Ricardo de la Peña and Cecilia Camargo, and her sister. She completed her academic studies at the Colegio El Buen Consejo in Barranquilla, and graduated in Social Communication and Journalism from the Universidad del Norte, in the same city. Her most notable passions include dancing and singing. Her first casting for presenter she did in second half. At age 20, while in the second semester of her university career, she auditioned to enter a program at her university, but thanks to her excellent record in cameras, she entered the regional channel Telecaribe, where she first presented a variety program called La Noche and the Televista newscast. A year later, she was hired by Noticias RCN as presenter of the weekend editions, work that she alternated for seven months with her university studies and Telecaribe. After that time, she settled completely in Bogotá, where she went to present weekly broadcasts of the newscast.
