Meet your local coordinator - Katrina
HEY, I’m Katrina! I’m a Sydney girl and recently returned home after living in London for 5 years. I’m energetic, loud, and love to chat all things Endo!
I have worked in the FIlm and Television industry since I was a teenager and I’m just obsessed! I also love playing sports, writing, and spending as much time as possible with my family.
In 2018, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis after a decade of hearing, “periods hurt, you’ll be fine love!” A laparoscopy revealed my uterus was fused to my bowels, and a significant amount of Endometrial tissue was removed.
I am SO excited to be a part of the QENDO team. I want to work as hard as possible to ensure that Endometriosis becomes as well known as other chronic illnesses. I am currently working on a very exciting project on Endometriosis. I'm determined to create fun and engaging content for our screens, with a focus on spreading awareness of women's health.
