Fast Five with Karen

1. What do you love most about your job? 

I love that it allows me to make a real difference in people's experiences of healthcare. A kind word, well-organised appointment or prompt response can go a long way. It's a role that combines compassion, communication and organisation which I find really fulfilling.

 

2. What job did you want as a kid? 

As a kid I dreamt of travelling the world and thought it was glamorous to be a flight attendant. I came close to fulfilling this "dream job" but decided against working long hours in confined spaces. 

​

3. What’s the bravest thing you’ve done? 

My first solo travel was to Montreal to experience a white Christmas. It took a long 24 hours but so worth it to watch the beautiful snow calling at -30C.

​

4. What is your favourite hobby? 

Badminton, yoga, pilates, watching musicals, trying new cuisines, baking, grooming my puppy, singing, playing piano, travelling, reading... and trying anything new!

 

5. What was the first concert you went to? 

Michael Buble - my all-time favourite jazz singer - at Qudos Bank Arena.
