Meet Hon. Ms. Lyric Williams
Meet Hon. Ms. Lyric Williams. She is an Executive Committee member and also serves as the Deputy Secretary in the Office of the Secretary here at UNA Fiji.
Prior to this, Ms. Williams was a member of Communications Team. During this time, she became the Communications Team co-ordinator in early 2021 to 2022 and was involved in all aspects of media and communications for UNA Fiji. "One thing I am thankful for is learning the importance of teamwork and having empathy. The experience I have gained from these roles has made me more culturally sensitive and has given me the ability to see the bigger picture, gain greater perspective and understand how to work with people from different backgrounds".
Ms. Williams started off as a trainee in 2020 under the Basic Diplomacy Training Programme (BDTP), before becoming an active member of UNA Fiji. "To date, this journey has been fulfilling as it has given me the opportunity to give back to my community. As a member, I also find it very rewarding to witness other programme participants successfully graduate from the Diplomacy Training Programme with an expanded skillset that equips them to actively promote positive changes within their own community and workplace and ultimately contribute to a greater Fiji".
The 21-year-old is from Suva and of European, Polynesian and Indian descent, currently pursuing a BA in Psychology and Linguistics with the intention to work in fields pertaining to education and behavioral development.
In 2020, Ms. Williams was awarded for being one of the programme's Most Promising trainees at the time.
Participating in UNA Fiji’s programmes and initiatives has helped Ms. Williams become more self-disciplined and confident and has improved her ability to speak in public. Her favorite moment at UNA Fiji was preparing for and participating in the MUN Summations that are a part of the BDTP.
Ms. Williams believes that to help and understand others, one must first know how to help and understand themselves. Hence, she looks forward to progressive growth with and through UNA Fiji.
With Class, Dignity & Elegance -
