Welcome to our new staff members

Posted on behalf of Dr Christine De Nardo, Manager, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health

I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Dr Kim Huynh and Lyn Cyrill to the School of Clinical Sciences management team. Kim was recently appointed to the role of Research Manager and Lyn joined our team last week as Operations Manager. Together with our newly appointed Communications Manager, Karen Sims, we look forward to supporting our SCS community in what's set to be an exciting year. Please make Kim, Lyn, and Karen feel welcome and reach out to them if you need any assistance. 

Dr Kim Huynh | Research Manager

Kim is a benchtop researcher by training with experience in fertility and pediatric oncology clinical research, public health implementation and translational research, and transfusion medicine registries. Kim is a foodie, with all things pastries being her achilles heel. She is looking forward to supporting SCS with their research and learning about all the exciting projects underway and in the pipeline.

Lyn Cyrill | Operations Manager, OHS, Space & Infrastructure

Over the last 10 years Lyn has worked within a variety of operational roles within Monash University. Lyn looks forward to supporting the School's Operational activities and working with amazing staff and students. With a keen interest in health and wellbeing in the workplace, Lyn looks forward to further developing the School's wellbeing initiatives. Lyn is a voracious reader, passionate theatre goer, enjoys a good margarita and has 3 beautiful children!

Karen Sims | Communications Manager

Karen Sims is delighted to bring her skills and experience to the School of Clinical Sciences as Communications Manager. She has delivered strategic communications solutions to governments, corporates, NFPs, and the health sector, and also operated her own communications consultancy. Karen relishes working among people with a united commitment to producing excellent outcomes for all. She is happy for you to know four of her passions are child welfare, cricket, cheese and champagne — not always in that order.

Welcome to the SCS family, Kim, Lyn and Karen!
