About Jessica
Jessica Sierra is an award-winning student of Behavioural Science, a traveller of 61 countries, and an international author of Elemental Echoes: Tales of Earth's Enchantment. Her writing journey began in 2013 with the commencement of The Unravelling Journey, which was picked up by HiveMind Press in 2021. At twenty-two years old, she stepped foot on her seventh continent, driven by passion to connect with different ways of life. Her curiosity about what makes people tick and commitment to making those around her feel safe and seen led to her undertaking a Bachelor of Behavioural Science at The University of Notre Dame, Fremantle in 2020. Skilled at interacting with individuals from diverse backgrounds and achieving excellence through critical thinking, Jessica fuses joyful play, unshakable determination and soft courage.
Jessica recently received two awards at the University of Notre Dame 2024 School of Arts and Science Award Night.
The 'Mossop-Wilson Award' commemorates a student who has demonstrated commitment to the values and principles of Behavioural Science throughout their degree.
The 'Heart Award'—the main award for the night—gives recognition to a student or teacher who embodies spirit and commitment in projects that have issues of social justice, reconciliation, and community at heart.
The Unravelling Journey was a contributing factor to being nominated and chosen for both of these awards. This recognition has re-sparked Jessica’s creative fire, intellectual drive, and passionate will to leave this world better than she found it.
