One of the youngest members of the Visa Solutions Australia
team is Jack Pearson-Lemme. He may be 20 years-old but Jack comes to us with a
broad range of business skills. If you
ring the office you may get through to him on the phone.
“My job title is Business Generalist and it’s not hard to
see why. I do the accounts, invoicing assisting with cases and helping to lodge
application forms. I also work on the
website as I have some IT skills, so excuse the pun, but I am a Jack of all
trades, but that’s why I love this role so much.”
Graduating from UWA into working life
Jack was born in Perth and went to Hale School, and then secured
a place to study a Bachelor of Commerce Degree at the University of Western
Australia majoring in Accounting and French.
“Every day is different at VSA, we have many clients who
want different visas so there’s plenty of variety. I Like travelling with them on this journey
and being part of the process, which will ultimately secure them a new life in Australia,”
he explained.
“We meet people who are in vulnerable positions. They’re concerned as to whether their
application is going to be successful which means when it all comes together,
you also feel their relief and euphoria.”
Jack’s law of migration
Jack is based in the Como office and this is his first full-time job since graduating. While he enjoys the migration industry, he
also has an interest in law.
“This role is perfect for me as in my opinion migration is
another branch of law. You must be
knowledgeable about the latest regulations and impending reforms. There’s certainly a lot going on the
migration industry now which means it’s a great time to be working in this
field.”
Aussie born
Jack is the only person working at VSA who was born in
Australia, but his mother was born in Yorkshire which means he has British
blood in him.
“My Mother came over here and met my Father, so she’s a
migrant. Every year we go to England to
see my grandparents who live in Huddersfield.
The whole family is soccer mad and I have an interest in the English Premier League,” he explained.
Drumming up a love of music
Outside of work he enjoys soccer (naturally) and
tennis. He used to play percussion
instruments including the drums and the piano and was part of both an orchestra
and ensemble while at Hale School.
More recently he’s spent some time as a mentor helping young
Sudanese boys living in Australia to improve their English and Mathematics.
“I’ve been volunteering with the Sudanese Australian
Integrated Learning Program for a while, and it’s given me a better
understanding and insight into the difficulties and experiences that refugees
and new migrants face upon arrival in Australia which has helped me in my
role.”
“We all work together here at Visa Solutions Australia,
there’s a good culture and atmosphere and the Managing Director Dan Engles is
very inspirational. I do feel privileged
to be part of the success story here at VSA.”
