My name is Jess and I am a social worker with 13 years experience working in mental health. I've worked in public health settings, non-government organisations, educational settings and forensic settings. I've worked extensively in Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMHS) high risk/outreach team. 

​

On the weekends you'll find me travelling or outside; hiking, mountain biking, camping, in the water or spending time with my family and dogs, Schnitzel and Pikelet. 

Pikelet is an 8-year-old medium labradoodle. Pikelet qualified as a Therapy Dogs Australia therapy dog in 2022. Pikelet passed a temperament and obedience assessment. 

She is adventurous and loves playing fetch, chasing lizards, swimming and going out in the boat.
