Lorraine is originally from South Africa and moved to Queensland in 2009. She commenced her career in wound management in 2004 and will always be thankful to the Brisbane Metro North community stomal therapy legends Pat Sinasac and Shirley Jones who introduced her to stomal therapy in 2012. She was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to also learn from Brenda Sando and Louise Walker in the private sector before joining the fabulous team at the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Services in 2017. Lorraine took on the role of treasurer to give a little back to the Association built by the stomal therapy greats in the past with the vision for a bright future for the AASTN Queensland Branch.
