Scaling New Heights: Empowering Women in the Blue Economy on the Path

What motivates me is the opportunity to help others, particularly women in the workplace, by empowering them to achieve their full potential and creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.

I am partnering with Voluntary Services Overseas and my employer, Randstad, to raise money to support women entrepreneurs and building a better blue economy in Tanzania.

As part of this fundraising challenge, I’ll be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in February 2025 alongside several of my Randstad colleagues from across the globe! It’s a 6-day trek covering over 50 miles, and I’ve already begun my training and fundraising efforts. Your support would mean the world to me as I embark on this personal journey to make a difference in my life and the lives of women in Tanzania.

Any contribution you can make would be greatly appreciated!

Exploring Boise, Idaho: A Hike to Table Rock and a Ride on the Greenbelt

 21-11-2024 | 01:59 Boise, Idaho, is a gem for outdoor enthusiasts, offering stunning landscapes and a variety of activities that cater to adventurers of all kinds. Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing two quintessential Boise activities: hiking to the top of Table Rock and biking along the Boise River Greenbelt. Each experience brought its own magic, and together they reminded me why this city is such a special place to explore. Hiking Table Rock in the Snow The hike to Table Rock is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Located just a short drive from downtown Boise, this trail offers panoramic views of the Treasure Valley and a sense of accomplishment upon reaching the summit. On the day of my hike, winter decided to make an early appearance, dusting the landscape with a soft blanket of snow. The trail, which winds through rugged terrain and scenic foothills, was transformed into a winter wonderland. The snowflakes fell gently, adding a peaceful hush to the surroundings. Despite the cold, the climb was invigorating. The steady incline kept us warm as we ascended, and each turn revealed a new layer of beauty. By the time we reached the top, the view was breathtaking. The city below seemed to glow under the cloudy, snow-filled sky, and the crisp air made it all the more memorable. It was a hike that reminded me of the power of nature to both challenge and rejuvenate. Biking the Boise River Greenbelt The next adventure took me to the Boise River Greenbelt, a 25-mile pathway that winds along the river and connects parks, neighborhoods, and natural areas. This time, I was joined by a friend who shares my love for cycling. The Greenbelt is a biker’s dream—paved, scenic, and dotted with interesting stops along the way. We started our ride with a sense of excitement, knowing we had the whole day to explore. The trail was alive with autumn colors, as the leaves along the river had turned vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and red. We cruised past parks, spotted wildlife near the water, and even stopped at a couple of cafes for coffee and snacks. The ride was leisurely, giving us plenty of time to catch up and enjoy the surroundings. The mix of urban and natural scenery along the Greenbelt makes it a unique experience—one moment you’re passing bustling city areas, and the next, you’re surrounded by serene riverbanks. Reflections on Boise’s Outdoors What struck me most about both experiences was how accessible Boise makes outdoor activities. Whether you’re hiking to a snowy summit or biking along a river, the city seamlessly blends adventure and convenience. Hiking Table Rock reminded me of the beauty in challenging myself and embracing unexpected weather. Meanwhile, biking the Greenbelt was a reminder of the joy found in simple moments—laughing with a friend, feeling the wind on my face, and taking in the scenery. Boise, with its endless trails and pathways, has something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a solo journey, a family outing, or a day with friends, this city invites you to explore, connect, and breathe deeply. If you’re ever in Boise, I highly recommend these two adventures. And if you’re lucky, you might just get a little snow to make it even more magical.
