Jessica Stafford-Ewing is an Australian Actress, Presenter, Voice Artist and Broadcast Journalist.
With a Diploma of Television and Dramatic Art, a Bachelor of Communication and Journalism, and a passion for performing, Jessica has enjoyed over twenty-five years in the media industry; from commercial modelling to acting, TV and radio hosting, voiceovers, production and journalism.
Born and raised in Melbourne, Victoria, Jessica began studying acting at a young age with Judy Banks on the Mornington Peninsula. Through her early twenties she found success as a sports and body model, was a finalist in numerous state and national swimsuit competitions and was crowned ‘Miss Superbabe Australia’ in 2004. This achievement took her to London where she worked closely with industry professionals, expanding her portfolio as a commercial model and media personality.
Returning to Australia, Jessica continued to study acting, picking up small parts in local and international productions. In 2017, after several years of intense training and dedication, she was accredited as an Australian stunt performer (MEAA SAP), diversifying her skills as an action-actress. She is currently a lead performer at the Australian Outback Spectacular show on the Gold Coast.
With a background as an award-winning Civil Celebrant, emcee and large-scale live event host, Jessica is in her element when presenting to camera or over the airwaves, with notable credits as a radio and TV presenter. You may have heard Jessica on the Nova, Star or Smooth FM networks as a newsreader across Australia, or as a reporter for Australian Independent Radio (AIR) News. Jessica produces and hosts a popular weekly Gen-X Countdown show on 94.1FM on the Gold Coast, the show scoring her a nomination for the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia’s 2022 Radio Awards, where she was a finalist in the category of ‘Excellence in Music Presenting’.
Jessica joined with the iconic What’s Up Downunder team as co-host of Season 2 of Tough Tested and Season 2 of Camper Deals on Network 10 in 2023, exploring Australia’s offroad travel adventures.
Lending her voice to audio narration and voiceovers while she’s not on set or in the studio, Jessica has worked with leading global brands including Qantas, HSBC, Woolworths and P&O.
Off camera, Jessica’s passion is animals and has worked alongside many of Australia’s animal and marine organisations as a hands-on volunteer and is proud to be an RSPCA QLD Ambassador.
After receiving an early-stage melanoma diagnosis in 2016, Jessica joined Melanoma Patients Australia as an Ambassador to help raise awareness of early detection and is a regular guest speaker at various skin cancer research forums and events on behalf of MPA.
Jessica’s warm nature, years of experience and sense of adventure make her the perfect personality for your production, event or campaign. Jessica is based on the Gold Coast and happily travels for work.
