Jessica is a true professional and team player. She managed multiple major international accounts effortlessly and simultaneously. She is a clear communicator and gifted visual merchant. She was able to pivot and reprioritize seamlessly in an ever changing and dynamic business environment. Working with Jessica was a pleasure. I found her to be extremely reliable, eager and quick to learn new skills and an overall positive presence on the team.
