"I worked closely with Jessica throughout her internship on the UXR team at Workiva. From the start, she consistently showed up thoughtful, prepared, and ready to contribute. Jessica has a strong growth mindset and was always eager to learn. She asked sharp questions, came to the table with ideas, and actively sought feedback to improve. What stood out most was her ability to navigate ambiguity. She could be dropped into a new space, quickly get up to speed, and propose clear, practical next steps. She executes with a high level of detail and care while still keeping the broader context in mind. Beyond her work, she is genuinely loved by the team. She collaborated easily, got along well with everyone, and brought a positive energy to the group. I would strongly recommend Jessica to any team looking for someone who is curious, reliable, and quick to grow."

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jess over the past year at Workiva, where she’s been a Research Intern — and to say she performs above her level would be an understatement. Jess is adept across a wide range of research methods and brings a level of rigor and thoughtfulness you’d expect from a much more tenured researcher. She’s fluent in stakeholder management, confidently partners with cross-functional teams, and has the judgment to identify, shape, and run studies independently. She doesn’t wait to be told what to do — she sees the opportunity, crafts the approach, and delivers meaningful insights. Beyond her skill set, Jess is a witty, engaged, and genuinely fun teammate. She raises the bar while also making the work enjoyable. I truly enjoy collaborating with her. Jess should be on anyone’s shortlist when hiring researchers. She’s an incredibly valuable addition to any team and has a very bright future ahead of her."

"During our time together Jessica has proved to be bright, inquisitive and diligent in her work, except of course when she was in diapers, or going through puberty, and then she was a complete nightmare. Her collaboration and leadership skills are truly impressive, except when she refused to allow any visiting child to touch her things, screaming “MINE” at the top of her lungs. I am happy to report this habit did abate by the time she was fourteen.
In closing, please hire Jessica if you need someone to fix the internet, run the company, or call her mother back—she’s the one. Please hire her immediately before I order her home to take over my life, because I miss her so much.
Feel free to call me. I also have baby pictures."
