“Jess has been an integral part of TDFUK since it’s inception in 2016. She was an invaluable source of inspiration to us when we were conceptualizing the event. She consulted on the overall program design and led the way on producing and project managed and hosted the highly successful ‘Jam Session’ as part of TDFUK. In addition to this she has taught and facilitated workshops that have created a bridge for many of our participants to approach improvisation and navigate the world of Jamming for the first time. I have really leaned on and learned from Jess over the years, and she has always been fully committed and very reliable to the cause. She has been a valuable mentor, colleague and friend..”
