"Jenny has worked with us in multiple capacities: as a presenter, producer, reporter, social media manager and trainer. Through our commercial arm, Licklemor Productions, a BAFTA-winning company, Jenny has produced and presented compelling human interest stories that give voice to those often unheard. Her editorial instinct and empathetic approach shine in every project she takes on.

In her training and assistant producing roles, Jenny has played a crucial part in shaping the next generation of media talent. She is a natural mentor, generous with her time, encouraging in her feedback, and endlessly positive. Her ability to connect with people makes her an outstanding industry professional and an uplifting presence in any team.

Jenny is a multi-skilled media operator, combining strong technical knowledge with sharp journalistic judgment. She is an outstanding presenter and live host, having successfully led our high-profile graduation events with energy, professionalism, and warmth. Her storytelling skills, creativity, and eye for detail make her a fantastic asset on both sides of the camera, adapting easily to a
variety of audiences, roles and genres.

A social media expert, digital content creator and natural networker, Jenny brings enthusiasm, glamour and charisma to everything she does. She is full of ideas, quick to act, and always keen to support those around her. Simply put, she’s a joy to work with.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jenny for any role within media - presenting, production, training, or communications. She would be a tremendous asset to any team, and I have every confidence in her continued success."

Amanda Brannan

Programme Director, Licklemor Productions/ MAMA Youth Project

“I worked with Jenny Ybanez-Watson primarily on the TV show 'Love Talk,' as well as on other projects, where she took on the roles of on-camera presenter, live host, and producer.

Jenny has a natural talent for being on camera—she’s confident, warm, and connects with the audience in a way that feels completely effortless. But what really stands out is how much work she puts in behind the scenes. She’s professional, reliable, and always well-prepared.

As a producer, she’s just as strong—creative, organized, and someone who takes initiative and follows through with focus and consistency. I’ve seen firsthand how she manages and leads a team of producers, consistently delivering fast-turnaround broadcast and digital content under tight deadlines—with calm, steady leadership every step of the way.

Jenny has also done voiceover and TV work in both English and Spanish, including Spanish-language commercials and several VOs, showing her versatility and range as a presenter and performer.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Jenny and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any presenting or production role."

Massimiliano Guelfi

TV Manager, SKY MyTV - UCKG

"I had the delight of working very closely with Jenny during my internship at MAMA Youth Project and Licklemor Productions, where she was my managing producer and supervisor.

I could not have been luckier than to have had the circumstance of working directly under and with Jenny throughout my internship. She provided guidance in a kind, respectful and professional manner, every single time, without fail.

As an employee, I would describe Jenny as an extremely driven, creative, sharp, and organized, professional who taught me so much in my short time of working with her. She was truly pivotal to my early professional career and has continued to help me and offer me guidance, even though we no longer work together. Jenny’s work ethic is nothing short of infectious and inspiring to other employees.

Jenny has my highest recommendation and respect as an exceptional coworker and supervisor. Her ability to work seamlessly with others while always leading with a positive attitude and kindness holds a very high value in any workplace. She is a dedicated and creative professional who would make a wonderful addition to your team."
