“At present the job market appears to be difficult for many with a disability, however Leisa [from GCESS] has shown tremendous drive, enthusiasm and resolve to progress that opportunity for Amber at Bond University. I not only commend Leisa on her adeptness in this situation but also her integrity as she has gone above and beyond her duty to Amber on so many occasions.”
