Ana 🌈🌿

I was really pleased to be able to participate in this event-thank you to the organisers and speakers today!

The closing speech by @KateRileyGC eloquently captured the essence of what genetic counselling is about ‘we can’t change individuals DNA or their personal experience but what we do offer is a supportive, caring environment that support families through difficult times’

And my own creation... triple choc brown butter cookies in different phases of meiosis! #GCAD2023 #GCAD2023BakeOff @GCAustralasia

@theredgc1 So exciting!!

Haven’t posted much lately. I’ve been a cancer GC since 2016 after I had to move from prenatal. Have been hoping to get back into prenatal although I really love working in cancer genetics. Next year will have the opportunity to do both! Very happy and looking forward to 2023!

@Kelsie_McVeety Just in time for the @GCAustralasia social mixer tonight! 🍾

Today is my 1st anniversary of working as a genetic counsellor! 🥳 #GeneChat

@theredgc1 Thank you!!

@VintageGenes Congrats!!!

@BhavBVora Thanks!! 😁

@VintageGenes Congratulations Ana..🎉

The cupcakes were delicuous, too. Congrats Emma!

@shelietweets @KateRileyGC @GCAustralasia @EmmaCancerGC I added #GCAD2022BakingDownBarriers to our list of hashtags after @elizakcourtney suggested it as a title for the bakeoff!

@KateRileyGC @GCAustralasia That wasn't me! @EmmaCancerGC noticed it on a @GCAustralasia tweet yesterday!

Morning tea time! How about an edible pedigree with a side of meiosis revision? Check out the ALT (image description) text 🤓 @GCAustralasia #IAmAGeneticCounselor #ANZGeneticCounsellors #GCAwarenessDay #GCAD2022 #GCAD2022BakeOff #GCAD2022BakingDownBarriers

@Ella_West_4 @GCAustralasia You're welcome! P.s. I love the mosaic blastocysts, very creative 😁

Some appropriately themed cookies for #GCAD2022BakeOff! #GCAD2022BakingDownBarriers #GCAD2022 @GCAustralasia P.s. thank you to @VintageGenes for helping me learn twitter

I am a cardiac genetic counsellor in Australia. Know what I’d like to talk about? Our time & expertise being reimbursed by Medicare. Want broader & equitable access to genomics? Then let our workforce do our job and bill for it #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay #anzgeneticcounsellors

@HannahThomson13 Love these!!

Happy Genetic Counsellor Awareness Day! from the team here at Hunter Genetics 🧬 Here’s the cookies I made to celebrate the best profession! #GCAD2022bakeoff

@KateRileyGC @GCAustralasia Haha she's a radiographer so I don't think the SIG Registration prize would be very enticing for her!

@VintageGenes @GCAustralasia Love this Ana! Unless your partner is also a genetic counsellor (wouldn’t that be funny) then unfortuantley not… excellent cake though!

Behind the scenes of my partner decorating a cake for the #GCAD2022BakeOff today! Technically as a working group member, I can't enter the bakeoff competition but maybe she can? #GCAD2022BakingDownBarriers #GCAD2022 @GCAustralasia

The finished product! 🌈 #GCAD2022 #GCAD2022BakeOff
