My name is Jess and I am a social worker with 10 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 dogs, Schnitzel and Pikelet. 

Pikelet is a 5-year-old medium labradoodle. Pikelet qualified as a Therapy Dogs Australia therapy dog in 2022. Pikelet passed a temperament and obedience assessment that is required to be completed annually to maintain her registration. 

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