Karen joined our Prestige family in November 2022 after moving to Sydney from Ireland and has worked as a part of the Sydney Client Service team ever since.

“My role is incredibly rewarding,” she said.

“Although it can be challenging at times, we are all dedicated to providing exceptional, tailored care and helping people remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes.”

“We are dedicated to making a positive impact on our clients, their families and our DCS.”

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I enjoy taking coastal walks and exploring new parks. I love reading fiction books and listening to pop culture podcasts. Spending time with friends and family is important to me, and I love catching up with my family at home.

Tell us about a special moment with a client…

I’ve been fortunate to meet many of our clients and spend time with them and their care teams in their homes. These moments are special, as they allow me to witness the bonds formed between clients and their care team members and the incredible care they provide. Home visits, where we check in, serve as lovely reminders of the relationships we build with both clients and care teams.

What’s something that we might not know about you?

I’m from a farm that has pigs, cows and sheep!

I also love to unwind with a pot of Barry’s tea and a Tim Tam – only caramel though!

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

The power to Time Travel to go and see the Taylor Swift Era’s Tour!
