Tiahna I am so honoured to have the opportunity to return to work at Marigold for my summer employment! It’s the perfect place to be surrounded with sincere and hard-working individuals which is mainly why I enjoyed everything about my time here last year. My favourite things are swimming, live music, great books, Netflix, and quality time with family and friends. I know this will be a worthwhile experience that’s full of exposure to more tasks and skills, along with some great people and fun programs. I look forward to enjoying my time here before I go back to my studies and the pursuit of becoming a health care provider of emergency medical services.

Gwendora My name is Gwendora Old Woman. I am 17 years old and I turn 18 next month. My favourite hobbies include reading and creative writing. I plan on graduating high school next year and I want to go to university to become a lawyer and an author. I am very excited to be working at Marigold because I have loved libraries since I was a small child. I think working here will be a great way of getting into the work force. I can’t wait to see how working here will progress and I am very eager to work with everyone.
