About Lorraine Nichols

Lorraine has worked in an office environment since she finished her TAFE course quite some time ago. Her first position was with a large retail company in Sydney, after which she moved on to Real Estate working weekends while her children were young. She then moved into medical, which she considers the most rewarding field. She started in radiology which lasted over 20 years and has now moved onto BJC Health.

She has discovered the wonders of travel, with her first overseas trip back in 2016 and has been fortunate to have had another 4 overseas trips since. Reading is another pastime she enjoys, as well as spending quality time with her family.
