My name is Jess and I’m 19 years old. I have autism and epilepsy. I like music, Disney and clay animation (such as aardman studios) and I also like to collect things like jellycats and different figures.

I like doing creative things such as drawing, painting, writing and making things. I also love sunsets. I have two cats, called Tigger and Odin and when I’m older I would like to get a support dog. In the future I would also like to advocate for SEND needs.

I like activities in the community because I like connecting with people – I go to dance, arty party, and bowling. I am currently starting volunteering at the Shrewsbury museum and rehearsing for The Wizard of Oz as Dorothy at Identity.
