I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Ellie Collins and I’m so thrilled to be the Village Manager here at Oak Tree Retirement Village Skye.

I’ve lived around Skye and the surrounding suburbs for most of my life. I love the lifestyle this area offers and live nearby to the village with my Toy Cavoodle named Maxy.

Previous to my arrival at Oak Tree, I spent time living abroad before enjoying a near decade long career in the travel industry. In that time, I was able to gain invaluable professional experience managing multiple businesses.

COVID19 was a catalyst for me to reassess my future, and I’m so happy it has landed me here at Oak Tree Skye. I’m often chatting with our residents about some of our shared enthusiasm for travel, music or AFL football.

Getting to know my residents and hearing about their experiences and stories is something I find very special. I truly believe that we can all learn so much from one another. Having a positive spirit, building relationships with our residents, and feeling like I can make a difference is what really inspires me to make Oak Tree Skye a wonderful and happy place to live.

I look forward to welcoming you with a smile at Oak Tree Retirement Village Skye.
