Ten minutes with Jessica
01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
My clinical director and mentor always said 'Always stay teachable, no matter how long you're in the field for, no matter how much education you have, or letters behind your name, or what you think you already know. Stay open and stay teachable, because there's always new things that we can learn.'
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't compromise your professional integrity. Stay open to working hard. You might not get everything you want right away, but if you work hard for it, you can get to a level that you'd be shocked you ever got to. Trust the process and stay aligned with what you know is right.
