Hello, my name is Brooke and I am the new part-time Public Engagement Officer with Results Canada! I am a recent graduate of the University of Ottawa where I studied International Development and Globalization, in the French Immersion stream.
Before coming to Results Canada, I worked at Global Affairs Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada as a Co-op student. I’ve also worked as a food bank coordinator at my local community center. I have been volunteering since as long as I can remember! In high school I led all sorts of fundraisers, from bake sales to walk-a-thons to benefit concerts. This continued in university where I was head of fundraising, then Vice-President of my student association. My favourite event to plan was our International Development Week Conference where we brought together over 100 students and professionals to discuss the role of youth in advocating for International Development issues. This is where I learned about Results Canada for the first time when they came to our networking night!
My volunteer experience brought me to Results Canada where I now get to work with our amazing volunteer network across the country. My role is to support volunteers by making sure they feel valued and equipped with the necessary resources to advocate for Results Canada campaigns. Already I’ve learned so much about the incredible work of our volunteers! Everyday I am impressed with the dedication and passion in every email, letter, and social media action I get to read.
When I’m not working you can find me spending time outside running, hiking, or camping (or simply reading my book on my porch)! We are so fortunate to live in the most beautiful country in the world! My life goal is to explore as many of our national and provincial parks as possible. This summer I’ll be checking off Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland! A fun fact about me is that I’ve run two half-marathons! (I think this means I’ve run a full marathon, but many have disagreed with me on this)
I’m looking forward to getting to learn more about Results Canada and engaging with our incredible volunteers!
