Staff profile: Seanna

Meet Seanna, one of our Administration Officers at the Heart Centre for Children.

What does your job involve?

Being a secretary to two doctors means I spend my day making appointments, preparing clinics, running them and following up the paperwork, typing, photocopying and mailing out letters to keep everyone informed.

Why did you choose to come and work in this job?

I have always wanted to work with children and even though I'm not a doctor, doing things like making the appointments for children to come see a cardiologist makes me feel like I'm making a difference.

What's the best part about your job?

Understandably, families can sometimes be quite anxious and upset about something being terribly wrong with their child's heart.  The best part of my job is seeing that child being discharged or told that they're now 100% healthy and can go home.  It puts a smile on everyone's face.

Tell us something that people might not know about you...

There's not much that people don't know about me but I'm quite shy and quiet and I play many sports and I play the piano.
