Testimonials

Jesse has been associated with Landcare Australia for the past 14 years and an outstanding feature of her work is the innovative and comprehensive way she completes a project after minimal briefing. An example of this was managing our ‘planting a million trees along the Murray River’ project with Angry Anderson as the public face. Jesse’s ability to meet deadlines and not compromise quality is a hallmark of her writing ability. The speech she wrote for Jack Thompson on landcare for an address to the National Press Club was a good example of her talent. Producing a yearbook each year to showcase Landcare Australia’s major achievements demonstrated Jesse’s editorial and coordinating ability as well as her lively, effervescent writing style.
- Brian Scarsbrick, CEO, Landcare Australia.

Masters of the Climate Revisited is an inviting and engaging publication which is always popular at events and conferences – it practically walks off the stands. Jesse has managed to draw out the essence of the experiences from the case study subjects, and presented the results in an informative way which allows the people involved to tell their own stories. The booklet was exactly what was needed for this project. Well done.
- Tim Lester, manager knowledge and adoption, Land & Water Australia.

Jesse – I’ve really appreciated your availability. You are always quick to respond and have taken on some rather onerous tasks with enthusiasm. I really enjoyed working with you on projects like the series of handbooks on community consultation. They are polished and easy to read because of your close attention to detail.
