PAULINE CRAWFORD

BRIDIE PAMMENT
Administration
Bridie joined In Stride in 2020. She studied English, Theatre & Ancient World Studies at the University of Melbourne, Classical Voice at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and supplemented her degrees with additional training in Acting and Musical Theatre. By night Bridie performs at venues all across Melbourne (lockdown-allowing), but by day she’s wearing one of her many hats - receptionist, medical administrator, social media manager or writer.
Bridie loves working at In Stride Health clinic because she loves being a part of a team that focuses on the health and wellbeing of our community. Also, our staff is filled with chefs, bakers and the best cuddlers around, so Bridie’s tummy and arms will never let her leave.
Outside of work Bridie plays the piano, practises yoga and exercises to unwind, she is a proud plant mum of the jungle that is her apartment, and she absolutely cannot wait until live music returns to Melbourne so we can all have a sweaty boogie together.
