Jessica is organized, professional, and incredibly responsive, warm, and personable. She provided thoughtful advice and was a true partner in navigating decisions and negotiations. Her patent prosecution experience was valuable for navigating interview processes. I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone searching for a new patent role.
