Club and state rowing

Fessey was raised on a cattle and sheep property north of Brewarrina, New South Wales where her family were graziers. Her primary schooling was via the School of the Air. Her secondary education was at Loreto Normanhurst where she took up rowing. Her senior rowing club has been from the UTS Haberfield Rowing Club under coach David Gely who had also been her school coach.[1]

Her state representative debut for New South Wales came in the 2016 youth eight which contested the Bicentennial Cup at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships.[2] Senior state honours came for Fessey in 2018 in the New South Wales women's eight which placed second in the Queen's Cup at the 2018 Interstate Regatta.[3]

International representative rowing

Fessey made her Australian representative debut to the Australian senior squad and straight into the stroke seat of the senior women's eight when they started their 2018 international campaign with a bronze medal win at the World Rowing Cup II in Linz, Austria.[4] She then stroked the eight again to their fifth placing at the WRC III in Lucerne. Then at the 2018 World Rowing Championships in Plovdiv with Fessey again setting the pace, the Australian women's eight won their heat and placed third in the final winning the bronze medal.[4]
