#278 Jess Jackson on her swimming career, family tragedy, & mental health advocacy
Jessica Jackson (née Abbott) is Australian Dolphin #564 (World Champs, Com Games medalist, Pan Pacs). During her rise, she contracted glandular fever aka mono and it stuck with her for years making training nearly impossible.
Today Jess is a wife, mum, and dietitian. She is also a mental health advocate specifically for people in the medical field. Her sister Chloe, a member of the Australian National Team and medical doctor, took her own life at 29 years old.
