For almost ten years, I was honoured to serve on the Executive Board of Miss Papua New Guinea and in 2019 as part of the Secretariat of the Miss Pacific Islands Pageant. By the Lord’s grace, this journey allowed me to mentor, guide and shape the pathways of young women in Papua New Guinea and across the Pacific.
I thank our Chair Lady Molly O’Rourke for the opportunity to serve.
A shout out to our A Team :
Deputy Chair - Genevieve Igara-Falevai
Executive Committee - Euralia Paine
I acknowledge all committee members past and present

In my leadership roles I served as:
Treasurer : ensuring financial accountability and transparency
Head Chaperone : guiding contestants throughout their journey with discipline and care

Pageantry for me has always been more than crowns and titles. It is about:
Creating opportunities for women
Elevating voices that carry culture and tradition
Building a legacy of empowered leaders rooted in faith and values
The platform may have evolved, but the passion remains. I continue to mentor and collaborate widely today, inspiring the next generation of leaders in Papua New Guinea and beyond
A decade of service to Miss Papua New Guinea
