Our Team

Danielle brings nearly 30 years of leadership and management experience across both commercial and not-for-profit sectors, having worked in the UK, Asia, and Australia. As a purpose-driven executive, Danielle is passionate about building and working as part of a team to deliver meaningful outcomes for clients.

Her extensive background includes significant experience in social impact measurement, not-for-profit management, corporate responsibility, and stakeholder relations. Previously, Danielle served as General Manager, Partners and Marketing at Autism Queensland.

In addition to her executive management roles in not-for-profits and publicly listed companies, Danielle has contributed her expertise to several not-for-profit committees.

Many years’ experience in finance and operational administration for Community Service organisations in Brisbane and Queensland regional areas. Very happy to be part of the Parkinson’s Queensland team and look forward to connecting with our lovely Members.

At home Susan loves yoga, theatre and finding new little cafes and restaurants to try with her partner and friends.

Stephanie has been a nurse for nearly 20 years, working mostly in a hospital. She has an extensive background in Rehabilitation Nursing along with Stroke, Dementia, Delirium and Parkinson’s disease.

Helping others to have the best quality of life they can has long been a passion of hers. This has led her to her current role as a nurse for Parkinson’s Queensland.

In her spare time, she loves reading anything and everything and caring for her family. She also enjoys travelling with her husband whenever she gets the chance.

Fiona began her service with Parkinson’s Queensland as a volunteer and it quickly became apparent that she was a much needed part of the team. Fiona’s interaction with our members and those within support groups has made her a popular and knowledgeable team member, you might even see her occasionally at a Members Event or Zoom Support Group Meeting!

Fiona is our fitness fan and we count on Fiona to lead “Team Parkinson’s” to victory during our sporting events and competitions. Fiona also leads “Team Parkinson’s” in the office each day by aiming to support each and every person living with or impacted by Parkinson’s in whatever way she can!

Kristine is our Support and Community Navigator, a role that allows her to support individuals and families across Queensland with empathy, insight and lived understanding.

Kristine was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2023 and first came to Parkinson’s Queensland for support. What began as seeking help soon turned into giving back, first as a volunteer and now as our Support and Community Navigator. Drawing on her own experience, Kristine offers warmth, empathy and understanding to others across Queensland as they navigate life with Parkinson’s.

Rachael is Parkinson’s Queensland’s Fundraising and Marketing Coordinator, responsible for developing and delivering campaigns that raise vital awareness and support for people living with Parkinson’s and related neurological conditions. With a background in social media management, marketing strategy and graphic design, she brings a creative and strategic approach to fundraising, communications and community engagement.

Rachael also plays a key role in organising fundraising events and identifying opportunities that connect communities with Parkinson’s Queensland’s mission. She feels privileged to play a part in supporting the organisation’s work and the many Queenslanders impacted by Parkinson’s every day.

We are thrilled to have Rachael as part of the Parkinson’s Queensland team. Outside of work, she is a proud cat mum to Edgar Gavan Poe, a charming feline distinguished by his little white moustache, whose photos she is always happy to share on request.
