Jade Lewis holds a Master’s Degree in Criminology, and has over 24 years of experience speaking in primary and high schools across Australia. She is a trusted and respected voice among educators, known for her powerful and engaging presentations to audiences of all sizes and ages.

With 15 years of experience in the criminal justice system both in Australia and overseas, Jade is passionate about prevention over cure. Her presentations are well-rounded and draw from her formal qualifications, lived experiences, and perspective as a parent of three teenagers. She addresses emerging youth issues such as vaping, consent, resilience, and substance abuse.

Jade's message is personal: despite being an international medal-winning athlete, she was lured into the drug scene at 15. By 18, she was addicted to drugs, and living a life of addiction, violence, and hopelessness. In 1999, she entered the Teen Challenge Program in WA, graduating in 2000. Since then, Jade has dedicated her life to reaching young people with her story and message.

Jade is also a best-selling author, charity founder, and content creator for schools and curriculums. She has received numerous awards, including induction into the WA Women’s Hall of Fame, the 40 Under 40 Business News Community Spirit Winner, and the Pride of Australia.
