WHY UQPN?

I joined UQPN in 2017 as a treasurer. I thought it would be a great way to Network and connect with other like-minded professionals.  It makes it easier to organise anything if you know the person you speaking to on the other side.

Experience

I started my career in admin 30 years ago when computers still operated on DOS (phew that makes me feel old).  I have an extensive admin background including, project administration, office management and now executive assistant. I have been at UQ for almost 10 years working in the legal department.

I also have a side hustle a little business called Mudita Essentials.  In my 20’s I studied aromatherapy and back then it was not as popular as it is today and it was hard to make a living so I put that on a side burner until couple of years ago where it stated calling me so I created my Aromatherapy business.  

Originally from Poland we moved to South Africa when I was 9.  I moved to Australia twice the second time with my husband and two girls and we have been here for over 20 years (where have the years gone?).  Now I’m a mom to 2 fur babies, very cute Cavoodles.
