Meet the Team

Cyrille is looking forward to taking this next step at When I Becomes We to grow as a marketing professional while helping others reach their own goals and ambitions. She is a recent graduate from the University of British Columbia where she finished her bachelor’s degree in Sociology. One of Cyrille’s aspirations in life is to pursue a career in marketing as she finds interest in the creative and critical thinking aspects of the field. In her spare time she enjoys traveling, hiking, yoga, and trying out new coffee shops.

A message from Cyrille:

Volunteering for non-profit organizations has been a huge part of my life over the past five years. When I was in my second year of university I started volunteering as a way to learn more about myself and figure out which career path I wanted to pursue. During my time volunteering I gained new skills and met others who had similar interests as me. Eventually, I found that I gravitated toward social media and marketing. I recommend When I Becomes We to anyone who is trying to navigate their own career and would like to make a positive impact in their communities! 

After becoming involved in the nonprofit sector, Sean realized the need to address the gap between volunteers and organizations that exist within the sector. As a result, he joined When I Becomes We as a Research Director, determined to make a positive impact and drive change within the community.

Our team is a constant inspiration to me and I know that our work will contribute to community needs for years to come. Feel free to connect with me through any of my socials linked below!

A message from Hope:

Part of the mission for When I Becomes We is to “further strengthen, heal, and address pressing needs within our community.” As Communications Director and a person who studies journalism, there is nothing more important to me than communicating what our city, town, and neighbourhood needs. Communication can start by talking to a friend, which leads to a group of friends, then to an organization, a moment, a movement, and the power to end in government. Every step toward progress started with one person beginning the dialog. We’ve seen laws and lives changed, all because people used their voice and got involved. I cannot wait to see what we will do with the most powerful tool we have: our voice.

A message from Priyal:
In current times of severe global financial crisis, communities and individuals are finding it very difficult to make ends meet daily. Non-profit groups play a critical role in enhancing people's lives in these situations. It is an honor to be a part of the amazing WIBW team, to put it gently.
