Meet Symone - Peace of Mind’s Events and Fundraising Manager

What do you love most about your job?
That it doesn’t feel like a job at all. I love to help people and I get to create special moments away from the medical side of their diagnosis. A place for them to make memories with their loved ones. I have also lost a loved one to brain cancer and this role allows me to quietly honour them every day.
What does a good day off look like to you?
With my family, at the beach followed by an ice cream or a visit to the local chocolatier.
Any hidden talents you might like to share?
Early in my career I worked in the Whitsunday Islands and learnt how to make the most delicious cocktails at a swim-up bar, my favourite is a Toblerone! I’m also an experienced wedding planner and have coordinated over 250+ weddings.
