Bio
Michael Austin
I was lucky enough to work alongside Jess for two years during her time as our elected Welfare & Community Officer at Leeds Beckett Students’ Union and as the staff lead for her second year objective to prevent student suicide. From day 1 Jess was committed to delivering the very best for students, quickly learning who could assist in achieving measurable change and what she needed to know to contribute to University working groups spanning topics such as sexual harassment & violence, mental health & suicide, and anti race-hate. Jess is a highly competent and skilled colleague who I’d have no hesitation recommending. In whichever direction Jess chooses I am confident that she will be an asset to those she serves and who benefit from her contribution and presence.
