Jessica is a performance and impact advisor for the autism and learning disabilities fund at Inspiring Scotland. She is passionate about the impact the voluntary sector can have in improving a persons life and offering the support they deserve.

She has since then spent time working within the third sector with a focus on mental health and the power of lived experience.

Jessica support for the voluntary sector extends beyond her professional role as she has been a volunteer at the Moira Anderson Foundation for over two years. She has helped in organising fundraising events and raising awareness for the charity.
