“I first met Jess after she was nominated to be in ESPN's mentor/mentee program, and I was assigned as her mentor. I couldn't have asked for a better choice. For over a decade, I witnessed firsthand her impressive work ethic, as well as the ease with which she successfully collaborated across multiple departments. She's a consummate professional: driven, disciplined, talented, and always able to get along with anyone. She's an incredible editor and writer with a particular talent for creative thinking, and the equally important ability to always remain focused and fastidious when it comes to her work. I'm proud to see her continue to thrive, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.”
