“Jess has been a knowledgeable and nurturing person to have in my corner. She identified skills and talents I hadn’t seen in myself and paved the way for me to regularly appear on national television and radio as a medical expert for the past six years. She is a passionate promoter of female and BAME talent. I wouldn’t have had the opportunity or confidence to do what I do now if it hadn’t been for Jess, and what makes her stand head and shoulders above everyone else is that she stays with you on the journey.”
