Jessica Knollys joined EURORDIS in March 2024 as Events Junior Manager.
Jessica works with colleagues across the organisation to plan, manage and execute events, including the biennial European Conference on Rare Diseases (ECRD) and the annual Black Pearl Awards ceremony.
Before joining EURORDIS in 2024, Jessica had previously worked with the Events team as an intern in 2022, helping with the running of the 2022 edition of the ECRD. Jessica holds a Bachelor’s degree in French and Italian studies from the University of Bristol, having chosen to specialise in French medieval history during the final year of her degree.
