Other SCA involvement:

Jellore Community Area @ Festival Discussion – a Facebook discussion group to help answer questions about teh dorms, get people to know each other a little before coming along. I also organised for group to get a fire pit, and set up family spaces for kitchens and child watching. This allowed us to utilise the space that was available, and create a safe and welcoming area for those not camping. 2014 - 2017. Name changed to Rowany Festival Dorm Stay and Communal Area Discussion Group in 2017.

We are now into another swap (No. 6) that I am administering into 2017. I have participated in four out of the seven swaps.
Bunkhouse Co-ordinator for Rowany Festival 2017.
Newcomers stream established in 2017 fro Rowany Festival. This was implemented along with the Facebook page Rowany Festival 2017 Newcomers Meet and Greet page.
Open House - Daiin and I often open up our house to the Barony for sewing nights, classes etc. Over the years we have hosted countless Stitch 'n'Bitch nights/days, had two Laurel visits to teach classes, and have hosted pattern making, bead making, garb sewing, forge playing days.

Proteged to: Mistress Finn / Sara Manley (2016)
Apprenticed to: Mistress Leoba (2016)

Docmentation Written and Classes Run:
Please see below where they have been added as full documents. Most are very basic, having been produced in my early days in the SCA. Over my years as Baroness I did not teach very much apart from SCA Basics 101, as duties and family (plus merchanting) took up the majority of my SCA time. The Lochac Largesse Swap allowed me to continue mentoring in Arts and Sciences and filled that void left by writing up my research and teaching class.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
Planning, organising skills
Great computer/web skills.
Happy disposition, friendly to newcomers and others socially.
I believe in the encouragement of others/mentorship.
Thrives on seeing others happy, will do what is needed to see joy in others.
Open book and very honest.
Weaknesses:
Can be OCD.
Anxiety levels can stop me doing something spectacular.
Terrible cognitive-mouth/typing skills – not great at expressing myself in words, can come across the wrong way far too easily as I see things as pictures and have trouble putting that into words. It often is more dot point and this can be seen as commanding and rude.
Gullible and easily led astray.
Runs after the shiny and exciting thought with gusto before thinking through the repercussions. This gets me in doo-doo and I often have no idea why.
Open book and very honest.
