Daria
I'm Daria and I have two cats, Kaeto and Ozai. I have a History degree from the University of Lethbridge. In Calgary I am in the Fine Arts program majoring in Visual Arts. I will be graduating in 2018. I've been with the SCP since January 2015. My favorite part of working at the SCP is the people I work with. I've made amazing friends through the SCP and my memories with all of them are fantastic.

Busola
Hey guys! My name is Busola and I am going into my 3rd year of my BA in Communications with a double minor in Business and French. I am hoping to graduate by December 2018. I've been a part of the SCP for 1 year and this is my 4th calling semester. I absolutely love the team we have and I am always looking forward to seeing it grow as well. Definitely my favourite part of the job! (:
I hope that's okay! Attached is my photo.
Cheers,

Sophie
Hey everyone, my name is Sophie and I'm currently doing a combined degree with my BCOMM in HROD and BA in Psychology. I'm hoping to graduate of Fall 2017 or Winter 2018 (AKA I'll be in school forever). I've been at the SCP since fall of 2014 and I've had many great experiences working as a caller! I love always meeting new people and the sense of community that everyone's helped create at the call centre. I hope to further connect with everyone and help make your experiences as fun and informative as mine!

My favourite part about working at the SCP is most definitely the people! Everyone here is like a big family, always there to support each other. It's so great to work with fun, enthusiastic individuals, all with unique personalities! Looking forward to getting to know new faces and for another great year! :)
