jumps in
Dives right in
Jumps in means to enter abruptly or without hesitation.
You might jump in a pool, jump in a car, or jump in a conversation when you see an opening: Feel free to jump in if you have questions.
The phrase suggests eagerness or spontaneity rather than careful planning: She jumped in before reading the instructions.
