What is your understanding of the Region Advisor role and how does your experience relate to the role?

Advisor/Trainer/Coach for District leaders. Assist District leadership teams with shaping their year in their respective positions. Lead initial and mid-year training. Be a resource to District leadership teams.

What is your experience with coaching individuals and/or teams?

At a women’s retreat in Puerto Rico in January 2023, I was designated captain of a five person team. I led the team to victory in a mystery murder scavenger hunt across the city capital. I had to quickly access the strengths and weakness of each team member and assign tasks accordingly. I had to build trust among the team and resolve conflicts, confusions, and disruptions.

Why are you interested in serving as Region Advisor?

I want to repay the lessons I learned during my District leadership terms. I am a witness and testament that the Region Advisor program is invaluable, is needed, and works.
