Jessika completed her first Year at the University of the Sunshine Coast studying Business and Psychology. She graduated from Matthew Flinders Anglican College in Buderim, Queensland in November 2006.  She has won awards for Academic Endeavour and drama.

Jessika is a voracious reader. Some of her favorite authors include Tolkien, Mark Twain, J. K. Rowling, Louisa May Alcott, Asimov, and Charles Dickens. Jessika loves music, and shopping and beaching with her friends. She recently bought a car with money she has saved through teaching and working at a Post Office.  She is not sure what she wants to do about university, and is considering working for a year in Japan after she graduates. Because she is perfectly fluent in both Japanese and English, she is hoping to get a good job in Japan so she can earn some money and then travel a little before starting university.

Jessika plays basketball and soccer for her school and sings in the school choir. The photos below were taken in early May 2006 at the school formal ball.
