Initially working in administration and reception, I transitioned to the role of Administration Officer in late 2023, which includes Executive Assistant to Eskleigh’s CEO Sophie Davidson, managing Board administration and supporting the Senior Leadership Team, along with other Administration tasks.
What I appreciate most about Eskleigh is it’s very rich history and it’s purpose; since 1947, it has been a Tasmanian icon supporting people with disabilities. As we begin a new year and our strategic initiatives begin, I am very excited for a bright and prosperous 2025 for Eskleigh.
