  Jessica
Jessica is currently undertaking a Graduate Diploma of Editing and Publishing at RMIT, after recently completing her BA (English Language) and Diploma in Modern Languages (Swedish).
She enjoys travelling; falling in love with abstract cities, dangerous food, foreign men and her internal monologue. Jess is a life-long member of the Hawthorn Football Club and a great trivia enthusiast, resulting in many late-night conversations with Tony Delroy. She enjoys lying on the beach with a caraf of Pimms and Lemonade, putting on clothes straight out of the dryer, and bouts of wistful reflection for her lost musical talent.
Jessica has only one hero, her mum, which is lucky, considering she's becoming more like her everyday.
Jessica's literary crushes include (but are certainly not limited to) A.A. Milne and Isabel Allende. Her favourite books are “Holding the Man” by Timothy Conigrave and “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov.
All of her career aspirations involve sitting on a couch editing manuscripts while drinking a glass (nay, bottle) of red. Of course there is always the chance she may end up a failed poet in the south of Spain.
