Meet our new Business Manager!
By Polina Dardel Jessop
I am thrilled to join the BHHS team as Business Manager. Previously, I worked at Pitcher Partners and Deloitte. I look forward to drawing on my extensive experience advising Catholic Education Office, DET and non-for-profit organisations on financial, compliance and governance matters and supporting the Principal, School Leadership team, and the broader school community.
I am a Chartered Accountant and hold a BCom from the ANU. I am originally from Taganrog (South-Western Russia) but migrated to Australia in the late 1990s. My favourite subjects at school were history and geography, and I initially studied International Relations. As it was much easier to get a job as a graduate accountant than an aspiring diplomat, I switched to a Commerce degree.
Outside of work I am busy parenting my 13-year-old son (and attending baseball matches). These Easter holidays we are heading to Mt Gambier to explore caves and craters. When not parenting, my favourite ways to unwind on the weekend are hiking, camping, or skiing in the High Country, followed by sitting down with a book in the evening.
I have a free-range rabbit named Cecil and my team is St Kilda.
Please drop by my office and say hello!
