Meet your local coordinator - Erin
Hi, my name is Erin Martin! I am 24 years old and in the Lockyer Valley. I work in Education with a Community Services background. I decided to join the QENDO team 5 years after my diagnosis of Endometriosis. I had experienced symptoms for 4 years prior to diagnosis, which was during an emergency appendectomy. Since then, I have received more diagnosis and these are all managed by a multi-disciplinary team. I am really passionate about women’s health issues and being able to access appropriate and timely support.
