Jeffress maintains a 3.9 grade point average and enjoys studying art. Her younger sister, Erin, also is a rhythmic gymnast who is a member of the Junior National Team. She has several pets: a Labrador retriever, Zeke, a ferret named Izzy and fish. She would like to pursue a career in physical therapy. For luck, she carries in her gym bag stuffed animals given to her by Rhythmflex teammates Lisa Welshinger and Amy Ng.
