After stumbling across The Mortgage Mum Facebook group when she was 8 months pregnant, Jess knew even then that the concept of being able to maintain a meaningful career whilst getting to spend as much time as possible with her daughter during those early years was a chance she could just not pass on!

Therefore, whilst on maternity leave, she decided to leave behind a successful career in Logistics Management and began studying for her CeMAP qualification whilst juggling a new born.

“I was terrified starting a new career with such a young baby, but the balance that working for The Mortgage Mum offers is completely worth it, and now I work to fulfil my own goals and dreams rather than working to fill somebody else’s and I’m so pleased I was brave enough to do it! The support from the other ‘Mums’ during the training period and now working as a fully-fledged broker is the most wonderful challenge- I’ve never met any of the women face to face, but they have been the most amazing support system even though we are spread all over the country!”

When not chasing after her little girl, Jess likes to get an early chillout in the garden first thing and loves nothing more than travelling with her little family.
