​

Hope feels deeply and sees things that often go unnoticed. Between her ability to “read the energy of a room” and her work as a yoga teacher; Hope would've made for a very good witch. She's working on it. Her secret sauce is grounding characters with absurd desires. 

 

In her "free" "time," Hope loves to performs improv comedy with friends in the team “Dance, Bob,” an original form inspired by the seminal show Dance Moms, move her body, and talk in the third person.
