Following her studies at Deakin Jess received a bachelor in vision science and master’s in Optometry and is therapeutically endorsed to prescribe topical medications.
After working along side and then taking over from the previous owner, Neil Romei, Jess moved back to her hometown Mansfield to continue providing quality eye care to the North East region. Prior to this she spent time working in Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania, followed by locum stints throughout both Victoria and New South Wales.
In 2019 she was awarded a fellowship to travel to Sri Lanka with an optometry group to provide eye care to the underprivileged. She hopes to do more volunteering in the years to come.
