Travelling has always been a major part of Jessie’s life. She describes her family as “travel addicts” and attributes her passion for travel to the many trips they have been on together; the Griswalds “European Vacation” movie evokes fond memories. Jessie undertook voluntary work experience with us during 2006 whilst successfully completing her Tourism Certificate III studies.

After just a year of full time employment with us Jessie won the 2008 "Rookie Consultant of the Year" award for Victoria and Tasmania.  This qualified her as a finalist for the National awards which were held at a glittering affair in Bangkok which  she won!  She has continued her successful career in travel by winning the "Outstanding Acheivement" award for Victoria and Tasmania in 2010, qualifying her for the National Travel Consultant of the Year awards in Japan March 2011. She won and was awarded the title of National Travel Consultant of the Year. Jessie continues to add to her trophy cabinet by winning the 2011 Travelworld "Top Leisure Consultant" award. We are very proud of her.
