Hobart
I am a 22 year old that enjoys spending time with my partner and new puppy dachshund in my spare time. Since I finished school, I studied Business and now work at a school in Hobart, supporting students, parents and staff. I grew up playing water polo and swimming, but stopped after my chronic pain started, but I am looking forward to starting to move again this year.
I was officially diagnosed with Endometriosis about five years ago and since then have been experiencing chronic pelvic pain. After being gaslit and ignored for so many years, I have a mission for more people to be aware in Tasmania and looking forward to chatting with more EndoWarriors!

Launceston
My name is Hannah, and I live in Launceston, Tasmania, though I grew up in the small coastal town of Bridport. Growing up by the coast gave me a strong appreciation for community and the simple things in life, values that I continue to carry with me today. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my cats, caring for my fish and houseplants, and working on one of my biggest passions — cars. I have a particular love for BMWs, and my pride and joy is my e92 335i twin turbo coupe, which I maintain as my show car.Beyond my hobbies, a defining part of my life has been my 14-year journey with endometriosis. Over the years, I have faced chronic pain, three laparoscopic excisions in the past three years, and many years of dismissal by specialists across Tasmania. These experiences have shaped my resilience and strengthened my determination to advocate for greater recognition of endometriosis and the need for timely, compassionate care.
Professionally, I work as a registered perioperative nurse, where my role allows me to directly support patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. This work gives me the privilege of helping others access the diagnoses and care that I know are life-changing
