Following graduation, Jennifer entered the resource industry and has since worked with big names such as BHP and Rio Tinto. For almost 20 years she lived and travelled across nearly every continent, working in different roles within the sector, including as an Economist and managing the Human Resource functions across countries.

In 2008, Jennifer and her husband returned to Australia and commandeered the land and rich history of a farm in Lancefield, Victoria. It is here that Parkside Winery was born.

Now, Jennifer is the Owner Operator of the vineyard and winemaking business and is involved in every aspect, from pruning the grapes to putting the label on the bottle.
