Francesca, or as we all know her as- Fran, started off only at the front desk, answering the phones and greeting our clients with her strange (NOT NORTH AMERICAN) accent. Now we see her patrolling the laneway, constantly going in and out of the Jims always with a random task in mind.
Outside of PhysioHealth she is a sport/exercise lover- with her first love being gymnastics. She loves embracing an active lifestyle, and while she’s no longer flipping about- you’ll see her out for walks, runs, at the gym, and lately at the track practicing some sprints.
Born in the Philippines, but residing in Wollongong since 2009- she can’t get enough of the salt water! Her weekend routine is often: wake up, morning walk, brekkie, gym, SWIM!
Highlights working PH:
Seeing the progressions people make! You may not notice it but I see it all the time. And of course our team here at PhysioHealth is simply unbeatable! There is such a bond and connection between our team- you won’t be catching any of us faking a smile when we are together during our lunch breaks 🙂
What do you love about your career?
I’ve started my career here at PhysioHealth and there are so many things to love. Firstly the amount of variety that is offered here- and that I can help out with, makes every day different. The clients that are here are curious and have a genuine WANT to get better, and it’s so inspiring and makes me feel good.
What gets you out of bed?
Movement! Starting my day with a morning walk around the blue mile is a staple. I also love waking up to a bright room- I keep my blinds open so the sun can shine in during the brighter months !
What’s your process for turning a bad day into a good one?
Very simple answers- getting outside and doing some exercise, sunshine and warmth on my skin, and being with the people I love most (unless I’m in a grumpy mood- don’t talk to me until I do the previous).
What would people be surprised to know about you?
I love arts and crafts! It’s a mix of a challenge for my hands, my brain and my patience. Sewing, drawing, colouring, crafting, I could do it all day
What’s your Karaoke song?
If you see me doing karaoke I suggest you cover your ears and run FAST!
Two very different vibes- Somebody to Love by Justin Bieber OR Sweet Child Of Mine Guns n Roses
What makes you laugh the most?
I laugh very easily- if the people around me are all in a good mood, there’s a good chance I’ll be smiling and laughing. I am also a sucker for a funny tiktok
Guilty pleasure:
Saying I don’t need any more active wear and then buying more as soon as they go on sale! Guiltyyyy
Woolies, Coles or Aldi and why?
A bit of all 3.
Toilet paper hung over or under?
Over. Under looks wrong
What do you love about Wollongong?
I love the lifestyle! Waking up early, watching the sunrise, going for a walk and then a swim and seeing others doing the same is super motivating. It’s crazy how many people I see up at 5 or 6am!
Favourite local café & your coffee order?
I’m not sure I have a favourite! Brekkie is my favourite meal of the day- so anywhere that has a good brekkie plate I enjoy. Almond milk latte with vanilla is my coffee order.
P.s Coriander? Yes or HARD NO?
Hard YES! If you don’t want your coriander, I’ll take it!
