When living in Brisbane she performed with the Brisbane Arts Theatre and in the one act play Being Norwegian which travelled for the South East Queensland Drama Festival.
Jess debuted at The Guild Theatre in the period drama Where Angels Fear To Tread.

Love the Guild. It has a real beautiful community feel.’
