After returning from the 2024 Paris Paralympics, her sixth games with a silver medal Jess’ longevity as a multi-sport athlete is un-deniable.

As she moves forwards Jess’ circumstances, choices and actions in real life continue to reverberate and reflect her keynote and messages ‘Are. You. Ready?’

Are. You. Ready? Trust – Mindset - Courage

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ski down a mountain at 100km/hr? Or to ride a tandem bike being controlled by someone else at over at 69km/hour? How you might do this when you’re vision impaired and being guided by someone else acting as your eye sight? Would you have the courage to trust someone when they take your life into their hands?

Jess has been profiled as one of 200 Women Who Will Change The Way You See The World and in 2023 RMIT University awarded her an Honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences. Jess is the first Australian dual summer and winter Paralympic medallist, Australia’s first female winter Paralympic medallist and an Australian representative across four sports. These experiences speak for themselves but it’s her ability to bring the authenticity of these experiences on and off the sporting field and create synergy with her audience that is unique.

She will challenge you to think differently and change the way you see your world.
