About Me
When Donna was in fourth year Medicine at Monash Uni she withdrew due to mental distress (illness). However after a short break, she studied Medical Imaging at RMIT and went on to work as a Radiographer for twenty years. A couple of years ago, she decided that she needed a career change so became a Consumer Peer Worker in Mental Health.
Donna enjoys connecting with and supporting her peers, and using her lived experience to inspire and engage with others.
