Bio
Juliane Siu
During my time at Coast Mental Health, I cannot express in words how much I enjoyed working with and learning from Katerina. Her professionalism, and organizational and analytical skills pulled the Administration Department into tip top shape in the short while she has been there so far. Despite being pulled into endless directions, her composure and friendly demeanour always reassured staff and leadership that demands were going to be met. I highly recommend Katerina as there is no challenge she can’t handle and I’m honoured to have been able to work alongside her.
