Jessica Robertson was born in Wollongong to a Christian family and still currently lives in the Illawarra. She attended some Christian schools, but was mostly homeschooled. She has a big heart for homeschooling, family and connecting with the wider community (through her passions – working with children and sharing her creativity). She is currently working on her first children’s picture book which she has written and illustrated called The Shadows of Torra – set in the medieval era with a message about compassion, love and making a difference. She has studied childcare, art and writing for children and publication. Her interests are drawing, Scottish Highland dancing and film-making.
