Jessie Camacho
is currently employed as a Deputy Sheriff for
Orange County in Orlando, Florida, while also
attending the University of Central Florida (where
she is now a junior).
Camacho was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico,
and remained there until she was 14 years old.
Moving to Florida in 1989, she attended Winter
Park High School. In January 1991, at age 16,
she was crowned "Miss Puerto Rico, Orlando."
After graduating high school in 1992, she worked
as a model before deciding to enroll in college.
In 1996, she received an Associate of Arts Degree
from Valencia Community College, where she was
on the dean's list. She then immediately enrolled
in the school's police academy, where she completed
a grueling six months of physical training and
intensive classroom work. In 1998, she was named
one of the top three up-and-coming leaders in
Central Florida by the Mayaquezanos organization.
In March 2001, she was given the Juan Ponce
de Leon Award for Future Leader by the Puerto
Rican Parade of Central Florida.
Citing her grandfather, a former police officer
in Puerto Rico, as her hero, Camacho previously
worked as a police officer for the Altamonte
Springs Police Department and a security officer
for a major theme park. Her hobbies include
rollerblading, mountain biking, personal fitness,
dancing and kickboxing. She also collects cartoon
movies.
Jessie Camacho has a dog, Babsy, and a fish,
Blue. Her birth date is September 24.
