Jemma is a paediatric speech pathologist based in Canberra, Australia. Since graduating with a Master's degree in Speech and Language Pathology, Jemma has worked in not-for-profit organisations which support children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Working with and supporting these families was the inspiration for her debut children's book. Jemma has grown up with a love for reading which was instilled in her by her mother and is a love she hopes to pass on to her own daughters.
