Cassandra Ireland
Executive Administrator
My name is Cassandra Ireland, my role is Executive Administrator with The O’Neill Foundation of Hope. My journey started as a missionary growing up in Belgium, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for service and community. Over the years, I’ve worked as an Executive Assistant in a variety of organizations, learning the ins and outs of operations and support. Through every step, my passion has been helping others and making a positive impact wherever possible. Outside of work, I am also a proud mother to two wonderful children: my daughter, who is 13, and my son, who is 10. Both are enthusiastic hockey players, and their dedication to the sport brings our family together, whether we’re cheering from the stands or supporting their growth on and off the ice.
