Outside ALG life

When not in the office, Jessica enjoys taking her dog, Koda for drives to the beach or on long hikes. Jessica loves exploring the great outdoors and going off the beaten track to experience some of Australia’s hidden treasures. One of Jessica’s hobbies, apart from traveling is seeking out the best dumpling places around town. Wollongong Locals can check out Xanadu on Kiera street or the Night Markets on Crown Street on a Thursday for some tasty dumpling choices.

Although Jessica is not a Wollongong local, she loves travelling to the Illawarra region for work and the balanced lifestyle it provides.
