Meet The
HQ Team

Katelin arrived at Hepatitis Queensland in 2020 with an excellent reputation and strong background in non-profit management, strategic leadership and collaboration with stakeholders.

Prior to joining our team she held senior management roles within the Australiasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM) and has also completed a PhD in Medical Research from the University of Queensland

Katelin is passionate about improving health outcomes for the community and is a tremendous asset to Hepatitis Queensland.

Sam is our team leader with 16 years’ experience working in the sector. She has a real passion, and eye, for detail and ensures that tasks and activities are planned and delivered as they should.

She certainly knows how to get the job done and has delivered some outstanding results across her portfolio of responsibilities including the eye-catching ‘Living with hepatitis B’ digital animations.

She brings a focus and dedication to the team along with a dry sense of humour and a cheeky undertone. She’s not into long walks on the beach.

Jenny joined HQ in early 2019 and has gifted us with extensive experience in administration and accounts. Her passion for finding solutions and proactive style are a perfect fit for the many facets of her role at HQ.

Along with her infectiously cheerful manner, Jenny is already known in the office as the ‘barefoot budgeter’. She is financially savvy to a tee. Just don’t ask her to look after your indoor plants…

Mim joined the HQ team in 2017 as the organisation’s Outreach Fibroscan Nurse and we don’t know how we lived without her!

She is an instrumental part of the mobile hepatitis C Kombi Clinic team and recently took out the prominent HESTA Nursing Awards Team Excellence award. On top of that she regularly provides Fibroscan services to correctional centres and GP clinics.

Mim is a vivacious bundle of joy that brightens our office and enriches the lives of the patients she works with.

Winnie Nguyen joined Hepatitis Queensland in 2018 taking the reigns of the Hepatitis B Community Education projects.

She has experience working as a professional practice pharmacist and community project coordinator specialising in resource and training development.

When Winnie is not working, this little pocket rocket is found on the dance floor slaying her salsa moves or can be found at the dog park chillin with her groodle Henrybear (she is the real deal crazy dog lady).

Jessie came on board in April 2016 in a newly created role as our Digital Communications Officer.

She has previous experience in the not for profit sector with broad in digital technology, communications and marketing. 

Her efforts have brought to life our social media platforms and introduced some new technologies to the team.

With her bubbly personality and an active imagination she has certainly created an impact.
