"When I came back from Brisbane, I wanted to go back to scope Lilydale as I have worked there before but about 6 months later, I heard Mandi was going to move to Ringwood day centre as the coordinator and I asked if I could follow her due to expanding my knowledge, and start at a new Centre. When I started here it was in a rebuilding stage, and we had some new staff start and it is now one of the strongest teams I’ve ever worked with and the relationships we have with our clients is unbelievable."
