Local farmer Danielle Grindlay has an extensive background in in journalism, working in print, radio, TV, digital media and most recently as an ABC Regional Affairs reporter based in Horsham.
Dani has completed a Bachelor of Psychological Science degree and is continuing her studies, with plans to become a registered psychologist. She has stepped into her new role with an enthusiastic and genuine interest in the health and mental health of her community.
“This role combines my passions for community connection and regional wellbeing, so I feel like it was created for me,” Dani said.
“I’m really excited to meet all of the faces behind our incredible health service and to share their stories with the wider community.”
Dani lives on a sheep farm on the outskirts of Edenhope with her husband, four children and ‘far too many dogs’.
Dani said she would attempt to fill the huge hole left by former Grampians Health staff member Sara McDonnell.
Sara certainly was great but we are confident Edenhope has nothing to worry about.
