Q&A with RangeCare marketing officer Jess Garey

Favourite sports: The closest I have come to watching any sport is the ultra-marathons my husband Chris participates in.

Favourite colour: Blue and green

Favourite Movie: My childhood favourite movie was Back to the Future II- A classic!

Dream Car:  Thanks to my colleague Paul, I now aspire to be a Tesla owner.

Birth date and/or star sign: 08/09/1989. A true analytical Virgo.

Last book read (title and author): I recently reread “You can heal your life” by Louise Hay.

Where did you grow up: I grew up in the St George area in Sydney.

First job you ever had & what was it like: My first job at 14 years old was a cashier at Red Rooster.

Favourite Range food and why: This is tricky because there is so much variety on the Range. I enjoy the GF vegetarian Nachos from The Barn on Flaxton, the coffee at Little May in Montville and prior to my gluten free diet, the strawberry & custard tart from Sweet & Flour Bakery in Mapleton

Best thing about Mapleton: The people! Everyone is so kind and supportive. I also appreciate the beautiful scenery whether it be the ocean views or the tranquil lily ponds.

Most important thing you ever learned: Community is everything. Despite your personal circumstance, if you have a community around to support and nourish you, you can achieve anything!

Favourite Saying: “We are all a work on progress”. I believe we all have a responsibility to continue to learn and grow and through conversing with one another we can share that knowledge and empower one another.

Happiest moment in life that wasn’t related to family matters: The present- I live in a great community with wide open spaces, a healthy family and a great group of friends who wholeheartedly support one another.

What are you passionate about: Our community and finding creative ways to give back to those in need.

WHAT else should we know about you?): I am passionate about the work I do at RangeCare and how it has a direct positive effect on our community. I am also an enthusiastic rookie gardener – gardening tips are welcome!
