Meet your local coordinator - Scout
Hi my name is Scout, I am 23 and extremely passionate about Endometriosis. I was diagnosed in December 2024 after having symptoms for over 10years. I understand the struggles of navigating the health care system and the challenges of advocating for yourself. I created a Facebook support group in Mackay for women suffering from Adenomyosis, Endometriosis, PCOS and Pelvic pain as I felt alone and knew there had to be other women in Mackay who felt the same. I am also a nursing student graduating in December. I want to use my knowledge as a nurse to help women and make a difference in the health care system
