Hope grew up in Minnesota and lived there until she moved to North Dakota in 2019 (to chase after a boy). Luckily, that worked out and she married her sweet husband (Zac) in 2020. They then moved to Hastings, Nebraska to be closer to Zac's family and hopefully experience more mild winters.

​

Hope graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a BA in Psychology and a concentration in mental health. Eventually she would like to get her Master’s Degree in Counseling and continue working within the foster care system.

​

She knew she wanted to end up in this field of work when she was 17, after spending 3 years working at Royal Family Kids Camp (a summer camp for children from hard places). "I truly thought I was going there to change the lives of kids who had been through the worst, and I left knowing without a doubt that they changed mine." Since then, I have known that I want to work with kids who have had a rough start and do whatever I can to set them up for success, and show them some kindness in a world where they have seen very little.

​

In her free time she enjoys being outside, updating her 100 year old house, listening to true crime podcasts, and taking care of her 100+ houseplants.
