Jessie - Recreation Programmes Coordinator - Including the Independence Games
Hi I'm Jessie! I started working here at CCS in October 2004 but have been involved with CCS as a volunteer since March 2003. I have a Diploma in Recreation from Christchurch Polytech. I enjoy lots of sports but my favourite is hockey. I also enjoy rugby especially when Richie is playing!

I never expected to be working in the disability field but now that I am here, I love it and really enjoy my work. In the future I hope to do a bit of travelling and hopefully buy a house here in Christchurch.
