Bio
Joshua S. Friedman
The first things that comes to mind when I talk about Jessica is she is a hustler and defines crushing life! I've known Jess since 2018 and we have worked on a handful of projects, meet-ups, and networking events. What defines Jess most of all is her ability to network her way to the top and can positively change any environment with her patented personality! Jessica does/and will continue to be a perfect asset to any team or company looking to grow to new levels!
