Jessica's career started in teaching Music in Secondary Schools after completing a degree in Music Education at the University of New South Wales. Her ten years teaching experience together with her unchanging devotion to her students in both private and public secondary schools gained her many achievements including the highly prestigious National Excellence in Teaching Award (NEITA Foundation) in 1998 for Excellence in Secondary School Teaching presented by the Minister of Education.
Jessica’s personal goal, to reach out and help alleviate the suffering of disadvantaged and underprivileged youth, led her to form Life Changing Experiences Foundation Ltd in September 2003, giving young girls the chance to break the cycle of destitution and abuse. In 2004 and 2005, Jessica was nominated for the Telstra Australian Business Women’s Awards in the not for profit category-Hudson Community and Government Award and was nominated for The Australian of the year awards 2005/06. She won the Pride of Australia Award 2006 for common sense, compassion and wisdom while teaching, coaching and mentoring others to be the best they can be. Jessica has been featured on ABC Stateline, Sunrise, 9am with David and Kim, Today Tonight and Mornings with Kerri-Anne promoting LIFE Changing Experiences Foundations, the SISTER2sister Program. She was profiled for “On the Verge” for the Sunday Telegraph Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Note Book Magazine and Who Magazine.
In February 2005, Jessica launched the Foundations’ second program ‘Potentialize-Life Changing Education’, an in school mentoring program which has reached thousands of students across NSW. This program is authorised by the NSW Department of Education and Training.
Due to Jessica’s relentless efforts lobbying to the House of Representatives, Parliament House Canberra, Life Changing Experiences Foundation was recently recognised for it’s innovative mentoring model. The SISTER2sister Program was chosen as one of 15 mentoring programs nationally by the Department of Families, Community Services and indigenous affairs, alongside other household names and granted funding for three years. From starting out on her own, and working full time as a volunteer whilst teaching, she spending most nights speaking to community groups to attract support. In just three and a half years she has raised the income of the foundation by 1010% and boasts a healthy volunteer waiting list nationally. She plans to take the program to a national level in the next three years.
“The leadership and inspiration provided by Jessica Brown’s foundation and program such as the SISTER2sister Program, extend far beyond the youths they are helping every day” The Hon Sussan Ley MP Parliamentary Secretary for Children and Youth Affairs Butterfly Ball Speech 2005
