My Rotaract journey began in 2023 by chairing Project Bronco, a moment that marked the start of something much bigger than I expected. What started as a single opportunity soon turned into a journey filled with learning, growth and experiences that shaped me along the way.
A major turning point in my Rotaract journey was chairing What Next 2024. This experience opened doors to the corporate world giving me invaluable exposure and hands-on experience in every aspect of organizing a large scale initiative. Seeing the project go on to win multiple awards at the District Assembly remains one of the most rewarding milestones of my journey.
Building on that, my tenure as Co-Director of Professional Development Avenue was equally fulfilling. Alongside my Co-Director, we introduced Business Spark, an all island business idea competition that went on to achieve recognition at the District Assembly. During this time, I also had the opportunity to organize What Next once again as Director, continuing its winning legacy and further strengthening its impact.
Beyond achievements, Rotaract has given me countless experiences, friendships and memories that have shaped me into who I am today. Every challenge, every success and every shared moment has contributed to my personal and professional growth.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who believed in me, trusted me and gave me opportunities as well as to everyone who supported me in whatever way they could throughout this journey.
Vive le Rotaract! Vive le RACUOCFMF!
