Africa Regional Committee

I lead global strategies to grow individual donor support and philanthropic partnerships, focusing on building meaningful relationships that empower girls and young women worldwide through sustainable funding.

I love working at WAGGGS because I was a Girl Guide myself and have cherished memories that shaped who I am today. It’s inspiring to now be part of this incredible global movement, using my skills to connect with donors worldwide and help empower the next generation.

Something people might not know about me: I am a competitive flower arrangement enthusiast and also enjoy basketball and cycling.

I lead a fantastic team of specialists in quality Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting, supporting our global team and national Girl Guide and Girl Scout organisations to strengthen the quality of non-formal learning and leadership development opportunities offered to girls, young people, and volunteers around the world.

I love collaborating with and learning from staff and volunteers from around the world every day, and knowing that we have helped girls discover how resilient and powerful they can be when they see themselves as leaders.

Something people might not know about me: I play the banjo and have recently started establishing a food forest.

I lead WAGGGS’ Membership Department, guiding Membership development, regional support, and capacity building. I work closely with Regional Committee Chairs to strengthen relationships with Member Organisations, support their growth and sustainability, and ensure they have access to high-quality services that reflect WAGGGS’ Global Strategy.

I love WAGGGS because each day brings new opportunities to support real change alongside passionate colleagues and volunteers.

Something people might not know about me: I am a bit obsessed with hiking volcanoes and keep a growing list of treks I have completed or plan to do.

I oversee the smooth functioning of the organisation, particularly the fundraising, finance, and communications teams. I love WAGGGS because Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting empower millions of girls and young women to grow in confidence and make a positive impact on their communities and the environment.

Something people might not know about me: the teenage girls in my family inspire me to drive change for gender equality, and my experience across different teams helps me better understand both the needs and the potential of the organisation.

I lead the collaboration of our service offer across WAGGGS’ five regions to reach and support our Member Organisations. I love working alongside passionate staff and volunteers committed to creating an equal world where all girls can thrive.
