Janie Gonsalez, a recent University of Leeds Masters Graduate comments “I’m really excited to kick start my career with The Yorkshire Mafia. The achievements of The Yorkshire Mafia over the course of the last decade have been incredible and I’m looking forward to being part of the journey with our partners going forward.”
