Meet Jessica
Jessica was born in Bathurst, NSW and moved to Mackay when she was ten where she completed her schooling at Holy Spirit College. She then went on to study business and law at James Cook University in Townsville, but after a few years she discovered her main passion and transferred her studies to focus solely on her Bachelor of Laws.
On completing her degree, Jessica moved to the Sunshine Coast to complete her practical legal training but returned to Mackay after a year to be closer to her family.
Macrossan and Amiet welcomed Jessica to the team as a Trainee Solicitor on 30 March 2020. Jessica was admitted as a Solicitor in the Supreme Court of Queensland on 19 June 2020.
Jessica found her passion for family law while volunteering at Community Legal Centre and a Legal aid provider during her Bachelors degree and practical legal training. Through this experience and her experience at Macrossan & Amiet Jessica has learned the importance of dealing with clients going through the family law with compassion and empathy. Jessica is committed to ensuring her clients get through the separation process as efficiently and stress free as possible.
Outside of work Jessica is an avid reader, loves baking and enjoys spending time with her family.
