What are you passionate about, both broadly and within the club?
Being a human resources practitioner, I have devoted over two decades on my focus of unleashing human potential in an organisational setting—helping individuals, teams, and organisations go through a developmental journey from good to great. Having retired from the corporate world, I now have the opportunity to spend more time in community work. I am passionate about contributing to the well-being of our community, especially in the areas of health and the well-being of humanity.
How do you engage with the club?
I am proud of the service projects that our club has developed over its 35-year history. It is my honour to be empowered to Chair the committee for the International Women’s Day breakfast event, engaging up to 300 leaders and change agents in the community each year. This event celebrates women in our local community and supports charities that empower local women. I believe gender equality is the foundation for a more inclusive world for all beings. You're welcome to explore our IWD website if you’re interested to learn more.
Our club is embarking on a journey of transformation. Becoming the President for 2025/26 carries a big responsibility. Fortunately, our club has a great team of like-minded members who bring profound knowledge and experience and are well-connected with the community. I am confident we will enjoy working together in this exciting and critical journey from good to great.
Why do you stay a member?
Our club has a proud history of inclusion and care. Six women were among the founding members, and many have served as club presidents over our 35-year history. As a new migrant from Hong Kong, I immediately felt at home with my club. I am very grateful for the wisdom and care that many of my club members have shared with me. In addition, I feel deeply connected to the projects our club has developed, such as community wellbeing, environmental sustainability, and youth empowerment.
How do you refresh/relax?
I practise yoga and meditation routinely. I enjoy oil painting, gardening, cooking, and travelling. I also love spending time with my family and friends.
What does volunteering mean to you?
Volunteering enriches my worldview and life experience, especially through Rotary, which enables meaningful local and global connections. It gives me the opportunity to make a positive impact on humanity. Even if it's in a small way, together we generate a significant difference. Volunteering also allows me to keep learning and growing into a better human being.
