Meet your local coordinator - Roni
Hey there! I'm Roni, a wife and mum to one wild little lady (soon to be two), living in Roma, QLD.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis at 20 years old. Before my laparoscopy, I didn’t have many personal connections within the endo community. But since my diagnosis, I’ve built incredible friendships with powerful women—both friends and strangers—who truly understand the journey.
At 23, we welcomed our beautiful girl into the world, and I take pride in being a strong advocate and role model for my daughters. I want them to grow up understanding their bodies, feeling empowered, and knowing how to advocate for themselves.
Education, advocacy, and community are at the heart of my journey. Volunteering with QENDO allows me to support others, share knowledge, and ensure that no one has to navigate endo alone.
