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!
