Meet the Staff Burke: Hey, my name’s Burke! I’ve been with the City of Brandon since April and worked at YAC Junior this summer! I enjoy watching and playing all sports in my free time: challenge me in a game of volleyball! Emma: Hey friends! My name is Emma and I’m currently the program assistant here at the Youth Centre. I have been with the City of Brandon for quite a few years now and I absolutely love it! I am also a student at Brandon University working to achieve my undergrad degree in Psychology (working to become a school psychologist). I love to dance (like… a lot… ask me about it), attend spin classes (I’m also an instructor at Tour Fit Club), go on hikes, coffee, dogs, and to talk (apparently I’m loud? Lol). I’m super outgoing and love meeting new people, can’t wait to meet you! Geneviève: Hey, I’m Geneviève! This is my first year at the youth centre and I’m super excited to make many new memories here :). I’m currently going to University for biology and chemistry and my hobbies include dance, science, and drawing! Kobe: Kobe is a chill guy who loves video games, anime, and music. He even has his own band! When not joking around with the kids or talking about the newest episode of the latest anime, you can find Kobe doing his favorite activity at the Youth Centre: karaoke! Lauren: Hey, I’m Lauren! I have been working at the Youth Centre since 2020. I am currently in my third year of nursing at Brandon University. My interests include art, dance, almost any outdoor activity, and am always excited to try out new things! Luke: Hi, I’m Luke! I started at the Youth Centre in February of 2022. Right now I am applying to get into the Education program to be a Phys. Ed teacher. I love playing all sports (but volleyball is my favorite), I love playing outside, and always am down to try something new! Marly: Hey, I’m Marly! This is my 4th year working for the City of Brandon and first year with the Youth Centre. I am currently a student athlete at Brandon University where I play volleyball, while also studying for an Arts degree. I love to participate in a variety of physical activities, and I also love to draw/paint! Mattie: Hey there, my name is Mattie! I have been working with the City of Brandon for 5 years, and this is my second year at the Youth Centre! I am currently in University to get my Social Work degree to become a counselor/therapist. Some hobbies of mine include spending time with my pup, Corbin (who comes to the centre every month), painting, and performing karaoke ballads! Sydney: Hi! My name is Sydney! I’m in my third year of university at BU majoring in sociology and minoring in English and Psychology. In my free time I enjoy reading, going on walks, and bugging my cats. Growing up I played a lot of sports, my favorite being softball which I coach as well. I’m always open for a chat or a Just Dance competition or whatever really, just not pool as I don’t enjoy losing and pool is not my strong suit… Hope to see you drop in sometime :) TZ: I’m TZ, I’ve been with the City of Brandon for two years and am also a university student pursuing a chemistry degree. I’m pretty laid back and like to play basketball and take naps on my free time.
