Jess was born and raised in Pukekohe, spending most of her working life in hospitality. She lives with her husband, two children Mason and Zoey and a pack of fur babies.

Caring for the deceased and their families has become a passion and great privilege for Jess. Spending most of her time in the mortuary as an embalmer, respect and professionalism are just a couple of important values to Jess, ensuring everyone has a dignified farewell. In Jess’ spare time she loves to spend time with extended family, eat yummy food and if there’s time, a nap is always nice.
