Jessica is a strong leader with a proven track record in leading and inspiring change. As a Registered Nurse, she understands the importance of trust, communication and inclusivity in approaches to health literacy and health professions education.
Jessica is a sought-after speaker - she has delivered over 50 presentations and workshops, including Keynote Speaking Invitations and Masterclasses on nursing, simulation techniques and theory, social media as a health professional and Diversity and Inclusion. Jessica is an excellent public speaker, with an ability to capture an audience with storytelling in a relaxed and authentic way. She has experience delivering keynotes, chairing plenary sessions and interviewing international experts. On paper, Jessica communicates well, having published a number of papers and presented high-level reports to executive groups. In addition, Jessica has been the successful recipient of a number of grants.
In addition to these traditional methods of communication, Jessica is a consistent and engaging science communicator. She utilises social media and mainstream media to transmit key messages about public health, science literacy and more. You can see her on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.
Jessica’s areas of research include health professions education, gender equity and science communications. Jessica’s research expertise includes mixed methods research design, the Delphi method and eye tracking to explore attention.
Jessica is an experienced teacher and educator, in undergraduate and post-graduate settings, using interactive methods to achieve optimal learning outcomes.
Outside of this, Jessica has worked with multiple Not-for-profit organisations in advisory and Chair capacities - to advise on Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) issues, lead teams to deliver key outcomes related to D&I and lead communication strategies. Jessica is described as a strong communicator with an ability to analyse complex situations, identify the key issues and deliver strategies to assess the issues under pressure.
