“I got to have a closer relationship with Jess due to an ACL and meniscus injury in my sophomore year (2017). She was the one explaining me the unfortunate news when that happened, always positive without providing me any negative/bad solutions regarding the surgery and all my frustrated emotions all combined. I remember crying and all she was doing was giving me positive reinforcement, both physically (while doing PT, such as putting my knee against the wall and see how I was able to bend it after a while, as well as, mentally, positive comments/words that would make me mentally stronger at the moment and the future. That was something that we all could see every day, however, the most important things above all are the ones that nobody can see. If you call, text, she would always be there no matter what time it was. That is what is called make the difference and that is something unforgettable.”
