It is a wonderful thing being able to work for a company that has a tree full of my favourite fruit outside!  I love Avo’s and I think that is why I landed up coming back to this beautiful space after a two year gap finishing my honours.  I worked part time for Avo from about 2004 and just got more and more involved, eventually taking on the role of ‘air traffic controller’.  I am now back in that role of training co-ordinator but am disappointed to say there are no ‘glow in the dark’ control panels yet!

One of the things that I love about the Avo space is the constant shifting and growing that takes place and it is so evident in how much this position has changed.  Avo has grown up in so many ways such as the processes and policies which have added to the ‘magic’ we have.  It is wonderful to be a part of such a credible management team and in many ways it is satisfying to know that I am able to contribute in some way to the creation of this Avo Magic.  Who knows, I may be able to get some budget for my glow in the dark control panels!

One of the things that I am glad to see hasn’t changed is the philosophy that Avo is a place where mom’s and children are important and there is an understanding that flexibility is vital when you are a mom.  It was one of the reasons why I took the position at Avo because Clint and I were thinking of starting a family.  Well, it happened much quicker than we thought because we are getting our nursery ready for the little bundle which will join us in September.  I am excited at the prospect of our new beginning and it is so wonderful working for a company that is just as excited as we are.

So, that’s sums up a little bit of me and my Avo role.  But if I know this space I might need to add a few extra things further down the road.
