"I have been employed with Healius for 25 years so have a lot of experience in the field. I came into the training department because  I wanted the opportunity to pass on the experiences and knowledge that I have gained over these years because I really want other people to love Pathology the way I do. I find it fascinating what we can learn about the human body through Pathology. Without pathology we would not have even a quarter of the scientific knowledge that there is about the human (and animal) body.

I love seeing our new collectors learn and grow to be amazing and confident, knowing that I played a big part in that is a great feeling. I love building a great rapport with our collectors and working with a great team."
