ADMin / Reception
Janine S. Admin/ Receptionist
I have 3 children and 3 step children, all grown up, and 3 adorable grandchildren, with more on the way! As you can imagine this makes my life very busy, but also very fulfilled. I enjoy gardening and walking my little Moodle, Molly and socializing in between! I am grateful every day for my family and friends and now my new role at Belong Health.
I have worked in Allied Health administration for many years, in reception and management. I mostly enjoy interaction with people and helping others. I have a special interest in children’s development, as I had a child with A.D.D and understand the challenges families are faced with day to day. Visits to the school and all outside of school activities consume your days, you think it will never end. But we made it, I can honestly say there is light at the end of the tunnel.
