Thoughts From Jas

'Thoughts From Jas' was originally started as a way to explore my passion for writing, but has grown into a blog I am very proud of. 

Dedicated to growing awareness of important social issues such as human trafficking, domestic violence, lifestyle, and human right's issues, my blog has been viewed all around the world. 

Achievements:
2016
* My article, 'Do you think we'll pay for bad things we've done: surprising revelations from Australian sex tourists,' received 90,000 views in its first 4 hours, and shot to number one on Newscorp. 
* My article 'It's Not Enough To Just Rescue The Victims,' jumped to number one on newscorp's website, and resulted in over $7000 in donations for Project Karma, an organisation who investigate child exploitation in South East Asia, rescue children, shut down pedophile rings, and empower local government/police to better respond to human trafficking in their cities. 

2017: 
* A ghostwritten article I wrote of the life story of Michael Crossland (Inspirational speaker and childhood cancer survivor), achieved number one status on Newscorp's website, and resulted in over 120,000 views in 2 days ('24 kids died, only I survived'). 
* I released my first book, 'Reasons To Live One More Day, Every Day,' which is a collection of memoirs from Australians who have battled, and triumphed over, adversity.

Brisbane's First Domestic Violence Memorial

Since finishing up with my previous position (made redundant in November) I have been working on a personal project, to create and install Brisbane’s first dedicated Domestic Violence Memorial. This project has required many different skills, from writing project pitches and sending them to the Lord Mayor’s office, to liaising with Council, organising permits and locations, crowd funding, promoting the event across all social media channels, conducting media interviews, creating engaging online posts and videos for supporters/followers, requesting quotes, communicating with survivors and advocates of Domestic Violence, organising speakers and ensuring the smooth running of the event. Through my successful organisation and advocacy, the project exceeded its fundraising goal, and was successfully launched in March.
