Meet Hope Paterson, the visionary Founder of Hope Sparks Network and Hope Braintrust, and a Transformation Coach for brave creatives and entrepreneurs. Alongside her partner, she embarked on a transformative journey, leaving their home in Canada behind and embracing a nomadic lifestyle. With a one-way ticket to Japan, they set out to explore new educational spaces and cultures, beginning an adventure that would redefine their perspectives on education and life.

Their global exploration led them to spend a significant period at the renowned Green School in Bali, Indonesia, immersing themselves in a community focused on innovative and sustainable education. This enriching experience further fueled Hope's passion for transformative education, inspiring her to continue pioneering change and fostering collaboration in the field.

Currently, as a driving force within the Hope Braintrust, she remains dedicated to elevating young people's voices and empowering them to lead the education revolution, while also providing guidance and mentorship to adults. Hope's unwavering commitment to reshaping education and nurturing a global community of forward-thinking changemakers continues to inspire and ignite a collective mission for a more inclusive and impactful educational experience for the leaders of tomorrow.
