Kia ora! My name is Claudia, and I am a Pax Lodge staff member from New Zealand. I was born and raised in Auckland (New Zealand’s biggest city) and spent most of my life within the same five kilometres, so in 2024 I moved to the other side of the world to spice things up!
I started at Pax Lodge as a volunteer, then became a Front of House Coordinator here in August 2024. I feel very lucky to get to stay connected with the Pax Lodge family while learning new skills and continuing to meet Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from all over the world.
I am a proud member of both Girlguiding New Zealand and Girlguiding UK. I joined Girlguiding NZ at age 10; after Guides (age range 9-12), I joined Rangers (ages 12-17) and earned my Queen’s Guide Award in 2016. When I became a staff member at Pax Lodge, I also took over the Pax Lodge Ranger unit and joined Girlguiding UK. My favourite thing about guiding is the opportunities available to have fun and make new friends. I look forward to meeting you at Pax Lodge!
