Robyn

Senior Receptionist

Hello! I am Robyn, a dedicated member of Loch Street Medical Centre since December 2022, with a rich background in medical and community service. My career began in 1978 at LRH, Moe, where I spent 18 years in the Pathology Laboratory before continuing my expertise at a Private Pathology Laboratory for 13 years. I later transitioned to medical reception, a field I’ve embraced for the past decade.

My passion for helping others and commitment to community service are reflected in my work. In my spare time, I enjoy bushwalking, gardening, and participating in community activities.
