Summary
Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic I have coordinated the opening and operation of the Geelong Respiratory Clinic in Belmont. As such I have led a dynamic team on the front line of the Australian Government’s response to the pandemic. Coming from a background in pastoral care I was able to use both my administrative skills, deep empathy and considerable experience in managing people to oversee the effective and efficient testing of tens of thousands of people over the course of last year.
In addition to this in the past few months we have added a Covid-19 vaccination clinic to our services.
