Jessica is widely recognised as one of the most successful Miss England titleholders of recent years.

A passionate advocate for STEM education and a dynamic graduate of aerospace engineering, Jessica dedicated her platform to inspiring the next generation—particularly young women—to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Her educational content has reached millions online, leading to international TV and media opportunities and collaborations with leading aerospace organisations, including the European Space Agency (ESA). In 2023 she was named an ambassador for the National Numeracy Charity and International Women in Engineering Day, and more recently was recognised by the University of Liverpool for her efforts to engage children in STEM. Her influence in the industry has led her to become a sought after keynote speaker, where she regularly engages in speaking opportunities and panel discussions at air shows, universities, and conferences internationally alongside her busy life working as an aerospace engineer in London.
