My name is Hope, and I am 19 years old. I am currently studying marketing at Algonquin College with a blend of leadership and communication skills. I have experience working in retail and fast food, but I have mainly worked with kids. A little bit about me is that I am a very outgoing, enthusiastic, athletic person. I am responsible and know how to have fun. Many people say that I am a good role model and a leader. I am a very extroverted person who likes to be on the move a lot. Some of my hobbies include water sports, basketball, and fishing. I currently live with my parents and younger sister in Stittsville. I am currently a youth leader for grades 7-12 at my church, where I lead activities and discussions. In the summer, I work as a camp counselor at Silver Lake. I have counseled children as young as 1 and adults as old as 75. Prior to becoming a camp counselor, I participated in an LIT program where I learned how to become a leader, supervise children, and have fun while ensuring their safety. Some of my other previous experiences include working as a business marketer at Wildpine Residence, Pitapit, American Eagle, and Independent grocer. I have also refereed basketball for a few years and have done a lot of volunteer work with children. Sometimes, I babysit my neighbors' kids when they ask me to.

I have had many different jobs working with children. I have been a camp counselor for around 5 years, refereed basketball for 2 years, done multiple volunteer work with children, and I am currently a 2nd-year youth leader at my church.
