Jess is a passionate and fierce advocate for survivors in the realms of family, domestic, and sexual violence. Her dedication in advocacy extends across the mental health, suicide prevention, and disability sectors.
In mid-2023, Jess joined the NSW Department of Communities and Justice’s Coercive Control Lived Expertise Taskforce. This advisory group has provided her with a platform to amplify the voices of individuals with disabilities and the LGBTIQA+ community. Through this group, she has had numerous opportunities to engage audiences on the impacts and insidious nature of tech-facilitated abuse on victims. Jess leverages her personal adversities to educate, inform, and advise from a trauma-informed perspective. Having experienced multiple incidents of gender-based violence, she is committed to educating others about the injustices she has faced.
Jess holds degree qualifications in Information Technology and is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Psychological Science.
