I’ve managed various youth programs, run a homeless shelter for families in the housing crisis, and developed programs for young people struggling with addiction. Now, I work in global health, helping under-resourced doctors get access to education, training, and equipment. I get to travel the world and support people who are saving lives on the front lines of other countries, and it was undoubtedly Rainbow that got me here. Rainbow taught me the skills to manage programs, make strong relationships, and perhaps most importantly, live a life of service.

I help companies engage their people in any organizational changes they are going through. Those changes could be a new company structure, product strategy, software/technology, or even a cultural shift. The thing is, a company could have the best strategy in the world, but if their people don’t understand or believe in that strategy, it will never succeed. I learned about the power of people through Rainbow. Rainbow not only gave me lifelong sisters, but also gave me the confidence and skills to communicate with clients, lead complex projects, and always bring my authentic self to work.

It’s back-to-school time and we all have clothing that we loved last year that is either too small, too worn, or just out of fashion now, but we still love the piece. I am going to show you how easy it is to create a brand new tote bag from your worn-out jeans.
Supplies List:
Thread
Needle
Scissors
Marker
Old Jeans
And there you have it, a zippy little tote bag you can use anytime!
Rainbow has given me immense amounts of confidence. Whether it be in everyday life, giving a speech, or just interacting with people. I am constantly doing dive briefings or teaching new SCUBA divers where I use my public speaking skills that I learned in Rainbow on the daily basis. Additionally, Rainbow has really taught me interpersonal skills and how to work with someone who is completely different, or who has a different view point than me. All of the things that I have learned from Rainbow really have driven me to chase whatever dream that I have, no matter what it may be.

My time in Rainbow changed my life in many ways. I am confident in my public speaking and presentation skills because of Rainbow. I learned what having a good work ethic means as well as gained the knowledge on how to carry myself confidently. I use the skills I learned in Rainbow every day; from my day-to-day work, assisting friends when they are presented with public speaking opportunities and/or job opportunities; to how to manage large groups of people in both professional and fun environments.

While the public speaking skills, time management, memorization, and team building we learn in Rainbow helped prepare me for success with things like passing the bar exam, client relations, and running a business, it is the cross-generational relationships that truly built me into the person I am today. These women and men, along with the current members I now get to work with, have shown me what strength, grace, and courage look like and have given me the confidence needed to be successful in my field while staying true to my values.

Whether it has been in my military or civilian life, I have tried to be a living example of service to others. The lessons of Faith, Hope, Charity, Love, Service, and Patriotism have made me who I am today. The confidence, early leadership, and speaking skills learned in this order helped to shape my career and the way I carry myself as a role model to others. The lifelong friendships from Rainbow sisters have upheld me when the storms of life have come and these women as well as former advisors strengthen my ability to serve my community.

Because of my leadership skills from Rainbow, I am a Past President of the Student Nurses Association at my Alma Mater, Hawaii Pacific University. I have helped build a Bariatric Surgical Program at a hospital in Florida, lead the local Cub Scout pack as the committee chair for three years, and was elected the PTA President at my children’s school. I have been a member of the San Diego County Peri-Operative Nurses Association serving on the Board of Directors for two years, as well as the Board Treasurer for two years. Without Rainbow, I would not have the organization skills necessary to help lead these groups and the people on them. I am thankful for Rainbow for giving me these life skills and helping to shape my life as a leader.
