 Sharon gets to represent Solomon Islands and the Pacific region in this pool of newly P level recruited staff into the UN system.

And Sharon is extremely grateful for the opportunity and is positive she will represent her country and region well.

“Growing up in a rural setting, I had it written very clearly in my vision board to one day work with the UN at the P level”

“Today I am crossing this off my list as the United Nations had offered me exactly what I wanted and more”.

“My advice to my sisters & brothers is to start small but to never think small. We serve a big God, therefore our thinking should reflect that. Nothing is impossible. Dreams are meant to be lived, touched and materialised,” Sharon told SBMOnline.
