Tessa Deak

Regional Lead

As a person with disability living in Mount Gambier, I’m deeply passionate about the work we do and proud to focus on the regional pillar at JFA Purple Orange. I work across two projects – SKILL SA and the Regional Employment Project (REP). Through SKILL SA, I support our regional peer networks, and in REP, I work with employers in and around Mount Gambier/Berrin to strengthen their inclusive practices and create more supportive workplaces.

Outside of work, I’m a creative at heart. I love painting, writing, and baking – especially choc-chip peanut butter cookies.
