Skill Level:Contributor
Having studied in the UK and volunteered as a Unit Helper with Girl Guides UK, I am familiar with the high standards of governance required for UK-based charities. I understand that as a Trustee, I am responsible for ensuring WAGGGS follows its Constitution and UK law. My experience in GST's International Committee has further prepared me to act in the best interests of the global Movement.

Understanding of, and ability to articulate the WAGGGS mission, leadership model, and educational approach.

As the JLS Mentor Team Lead (2021-2022), I facilitated values-based leadership journeys for 55 mentors. I currently apply the WAGGGS leadership model to train young women for NGO CSW 70, cultivating their advocacy skills through our six mindsets. Professionally, I integrate our non-formal educational approach into AI literacy curricula at Junyi Academy, ensuring technology empowers girls with a values-based foundation.
A thorough understanding of WAGGGS, including the complex and diverse regional contexts and the varied structures of Member Organisations.

Contributor
Having participated in the 36th and 37th World Conferences and the 2019 Asia Pacific Conference, I have a deep understanding of WAGGGS’ diverse regional structures. Serving on the International Committee of Girl Scouts of Taiwan for five years has given me firsthand insight into Member Organisation (MO) challenges. I appreciate the complexity of our global Movement and the unique needs of different regions.

Awareness of the challenges and opportunities facing girls and young women worldwide.

Skill Level:Expert
My work as a speaker at NGO CSW68 and Head of Delegation at CSW69 allowed me to advocate for girls' rights on a global stage. I am acutely aware of modern challenges, such as the digital divide and AI-driven gender bias. At Junyi Academy, I actively address these by creating inclusive digital learning opportunities that prepare girls for future societal shifts.

Sound independent judgment and the ability to constructively challenge.

Skill Level:Expert
In my role as a Government Relations Account Manager, I frequently provide independent, data-backed recommendations to education bureaus to optimize their policies. I have the confidence to ask critical questions and challenge assumptions constructively to ensure strategic goals are met. My experience in Greenpeace as a campaigner further honed my ability to advocate for evidence-based decisions under pressure.
