About Jessie
Jessie is a solicitor who held joint conduct of the largest terrorism and national security law practice in Australia. She completed her BA (Honours) and an LLB (Honours) at the University of Melbourne. Jessie has worked closely with terrorist offenders to develop a blueprint for the nation’s first forensic de-radicalisation program to assist a court pre-sentence. With her John Monash Scholarship, Jessie will complete a PhD at Cambridge, exploring how courts might encourage and evaluate the renunciation of violence with significant implications for Australia’s domestic security.
