Meet your local coordinator - Claudia
Hi! I’m Claudia, the community leader for Newcastle. I have moved around a lot from living in Sydney to England, Bellingen and now Newcastle. I am currently studying design at university and also work in marketing for a fashion design agency which keeps me busy!
After 10 years of searching for answers, I was diagnosed with endo this year at the age of 23. I am so glad I pushed for answers and surgery which has given me a lot of relief.
Through QENDO, I hope to bring more awareness to the Newcastle community and run meet-ups to support and meet other endo warriors. I am passionate about creating a supportive and empowering environment where people can connect, share their journeys and know they aren’t alone.
In my spare time I love to do pilates, go hiking, go to the beach or spend time in nature. I am also a travel enthusiast and love to go backpacking.
