Guiding has shaped who I am. It’s helped me grow in confidence, connect with others, and become someone who leads by listening. Being part of a global movement has shown me what’s possible when people feel safe, supported and part of something bigger – and I want more girls and volunteers to experience that same magic of possibility. I’m standing for the Europe Regional Committee to help us grow stronger, together. The next three years will bring big opportunities and challenges, and I want to use my experience to help us navigate change in a way that’s sustainable, inclusive and shaped by the voices and experiences of our MOs. My vision is for a Region where every MO feels heard and supported, and where we’re united around shared purpose. Where we tell our story more clearly – what we do and why it matters – so that members see the value of our Region. Where MOs can learn from each other easily, and where volunteers feel valued, inspired and committed to continue. If we can get that right, we’ll be a stronger, more sustainable Region. I bring experience from both the guiding world and my professional life that can help us get there. I’ve built skill-sharing partnerships, created new ways to evaluate impact, crafted stories that show why our work matters, supported volunteer and staff teams to thrive, and helped create spaces where more people feel safe to speak up. But more than that, I bring a commitment to listen, to stay curious, and to act with care and purpose. I want MOs to feel that the Region is truly there for them – a trusted space where we build each other up, share what works, and keep making girl guiding and girl scouting better for the next generation.
