Ability to analyse and interpret information. | Skill Level: | Professionally Qualified |
| I have extensive professional and academic experience in analysing and interpreting complex information. I regularly bring together data, legal guidelines, and input from various stakeholders to give Parliamentarians, board members, and senior leaders clear and useful information to support their decisions. Through my volunteer work with WAGGGS and GGC, I use these skills to review governance structures, policies, and tools, helping organisations make improvements based on evidence and achieve greater effectiveness. | ||
Ability to think critically, creatively and strategically. | Skill Level: | Professionally Qualified |
| I am professionally qualified in applying critical, creative, and strategic thinking daily in complex governance and policy environments. I routinely analyse complex issues and develop effective solutions to respond to senior officials’ questions, requests, and emerging challenges, often pivoting rapidly when circumstances change. As Board Chair, I strove to set the tone at the top, fostering a psychologically safe environment where the board and management were encouraged to think critically, remain curious, be innovative, and engage in respectful challenge and debate. | ||
Ability to listen, learn from others, and appreciate diverse perspectives. | Skill Level: | Expert |
| I actively listen, learn from others, and welcome diverse perspectives to inform decision-making and support collaborative leadership. Drawing on my volunteer experiences within WAGGGS, I have a full appreciation for the unique views and operating environments across all regions. As Board Chair and founding member of GGC’s Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, I helped embed inclusivity across programs and at the highest levels of the organization. Finally, as an advisor to the Minister for La Francophonie, I helped unite perspectives and policy goals among French-speaking communities worldwide. | ||
Cultural sensitivity and experience working in a global, multi-cultural context. | Skill Level: | Expert |
| I navigate multicultural, international environments with sensitivity and respect, collaborating across countries, languages, and cultures. I prioritize inclusive, context-sensitive approaches, building consensus, strengthening collaboration, and advancing shared goals. From my experience with WAGGGS, including as Constitutions Coordinator and in trainings, I have a full appreciation for the unique perspectives of all WAGGGS regions, and I understand the imperative to work with MOs to develop decisions and solutions using best practices and global standards while adapting to local and cultural needs. | ||
Ability to represent WAGGGS positively and professionally internally and externally. | Skill Level: | Professionally Qualified |
| I am professionally qualified and have a proven track record of representing organizations with credibility, professionalism, and authenticity. In WAGGGS and GGC leadership roles, I have advocated for the Movement, engaged with international peers, and strengthened partnerships. Professionally, I regularly serve as a representative for federal government-owned corporations, managing stakeholder relations and appearing before nationally televised Parliamentary committees, where accountability and stakes are high. Representing WAGGGS aligns naturally with my values and commitment to empowering girls and young women worldwide. | ||
