As part of her studies she also spent a semester at Pennsylvania State University, one of the leading meteorology schools in the US.

After graduation, Jane was appointed as a forecaster with the BOM – posted initially to the Sydney office and later to Canberra as well as the RAAF’s Williamtown Base.

In 2008 Jane joined The Weather Channel as their morning meteorologist, before moving on to WIN News to explain the highs and lows of regional Victoria’s weather, where she gained huge popularity. 

As a weather consultant, Jane also provides advice to farming communities throughout southeastern Australia, as well as the Country Fire Authority, the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, and a large number of organisations in the agricultural sector.

Jane emphasised her versatility as one of the hosts of The Great Weekend, Channel 7’s lifestyle and leisure show. One of Jane’s crowning glories was her appointment as a Moomba Monarch in 2019, a huge honour and a dream come true.
