Chances are, if you call the office for information, it will be Victoria’s friendly voice that says hello. Victoria is a daughter-in-law to David and Rachel, but it’s her friendly personality and her work ethic that roped her into our client service department. 
 
Victoria’s love and care for people with special needs led her to pursue an education in behavioural sciences, but these amazing qualities have become assets within our team. After 4 years in her respective field, Victoria became an integral part of our core team. She says she’s “married to the best guy ever”, and after work she says there’s “nothing like making a nice meal and spending time with Josiah.”
 
Victoria loves to play the guitar and piano and loves to spend time with her church family.
