Good vibes are always brewing at QEII's #HIP Café, thanks to the dedication of resident barista Christina Kim.

An invaluable member of the QEII team known for her infectious smile, Christina has poured positivity and care into every cup for five years and counting.

Each carefully crafted coffee is served with a shot of positivity, transforming routine caffeine breaks into brew-tiful moments of connection.

Combining genuine kindness with exceptional customer service, Christina leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets, and no order is too tall.

Her passion for people and genuine care shine through in every interaction, fostering a culture of care and community.

“I love interacting with staff and patients every day. It brings me so much joy,” Christina said.

Between every perfectly steamed soy cap and refreshing iced latte, Christina’s meticulous attention to detail and aptitude for memorising individual preferences have grounded her reputation as one of QEII’s most beloved team members.

Acknowledged for her cheery disposition, excellent customer service and heartfelt compassion, Christina was named winner of the QEII Staff Values Award in September.

Christina doesn't just serve up great coffee; she serves an important reminder of the enriching power of genuine human connection, even in the smallest moments.

Congratulations to Christina on this well-deserved recognition!
