“Jess’s invaluable assistance came into my life at just the right moment. I was feeling so frustrated, as a more ‘right-brained’ entrepreneur. Truly, I don’t know what I would have done without them. Perhaps most of all, they had my back and really understood my vision. They are an enthusiastic cheerleader, even when I wasn’t able to see the value of what I do. They never waver, and puts not only their expertise but their heart into everything they do. I am extremely grateful.”
