Hello, I'm
Jemma
Jemma graduated from Heriot-Watt University in 2018 with an MA (Hons) degree in Interpreting and Translating (French/Spanish). During her studies she completed a master’s dissertation and modules in European politics and institutions, French and Spanish history and culture, and BSL and working with deaf communities.
Before joining DJS Research, Jemma worked as a linguist for Global Voices and as a Qualitative Analyst at Traverse. She has always been passionate about social issues and empowering people to have their say, whether that be through removing language barriers or conducting research.
Jemma joined DJS Research in 2023 as a Research Executive and, in 2025, was promoted to Senior Research Executive in recognition of her hard work, excellent project management, and strong client relationships. She has quickly become a skilled researcher, handling projects across sectors with confidence, particularly in qualitative research and inclusive approaches.
Outside of work, Jemma keeps a relatively low profile but enjoys a mix of activity and relaxation. She can usually be found watching a film or series, reading, playing tennis (and losing!), or taking day-trips and weekend breaks to explore Scotland’s beautiful countryside. She shares her home with two cats, Diego and Alaska, who occasionally make themselves the real stars of the show.
