Annie Christo
Annie has journeyed with Family Doctors Highton since its conception and is a familiar face to many of our patients. Armed with a Bachelor of Science (Biology), Annie seamlessly integrates her scientific knowledge with her well-honed administrative skills (over twenty years’ worth of experience!).
Behind her beautiful smile is one of the most beautiful hearts we know earning her many fans who drop off gifts, some of which are edible that she generously shares with all of us. Annie is married and have two beautiful children and a menagerie of animals!
The Christos adore farm life and love spending time outdoors. When not out chasing her cow, goat and horses, you will find Annie in front of the computer trawling through birth records and family history to construct a treasured family tree.
Elaine Ly
Elaine is our youngest pocket rocket! She grew up in Geelong and is completing a Bachelor of Primary Teaching at Deakin University. Elaine is well loved by everyone for her megawatt smile and big heart.
Besides being a super duper Medical Receptionist, Elaine loves playing tennis – she was ranked among the very best in Australia! If that’s not enough talent for one person, Elaine also plays the piano and the violin and speaks Cantonese.
When not studying or working, Elaine enjoys running and hanging out with friends and is mum to three fat, greedy guinea pigs.
Elizabeth Clarke
Where to begin with this amazing lady! She is trained as a Physiotherapist and have lived in many places in our magnificent world, including a fifteen-year stint in Northern Iraq. She generously shares her experiences with us and helps us expand our cultural awareness and improve our intercultural communication.
Elizabeth is married with four awesome children who share their parents’ passion and love for people. A strong believer in lifelong learning, Elizabeth eagerly embraces opportunities for self development, which probably explains why she is so multi-skilled! She also speaks Kurdish and is a ripper sewist and knitter!
(Psst ... She knitted that jumper she's wearing!)
Michelle Funk
No, you are not seeing double!
Besides being a Dietitian, Michelle is also Family Doctors Highton’s Practice Director!
Michelle firmly believes that to lead, you first must serve. So, you will see her quite a bit at Reception working and hanging out with the rest of our friendly and helpful Reception Squad.
(Psst...she did NOT knit that jumper she's wearing)
