Jean has been a Migration Officer at the PNG Immigration & Citizenship Authority for just over a decade, primarily in the Enforcement and Compliance space.

The highlight of Jean’s career was the appointment to a newly created Intelligence Analysis Branch six years ago. Starting with no experience in intelligence analysis, Jean made use of available resources and training opportunities, combined with her passion and zeal, to confidently enforce various instruments of migration legislation in the regulation of entry and stay of non-citizens in PNG. She meaningfully contributed to the communal protection of PNG’s borders and sovereignty with partner agencies. In June 2022, Jean started a Combined Studies in Masters of Intelligence and Master of Security and Strategic Studies at Sydney’s Macquarie University, under an Australia Awards scholarship.
