Jessica has previously been a member of the National Secondary Schools Female Honour Choir.

It was while performing with the secondary schools choir that she heard the National Youth Choir and decided to audition.

Jessica is currently in her first year of study with the Bachelor of Performing Arts degree program offered by CQU’s Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

The highlight of this month’s Brisbane season will be a concert at St Stephen’s Cathedral on Saturday, April 26.
