Greetings, Girl Scouts! My name is Miranda Sterling-Rains and I'm the Awards (Bronze, Silver, Gold) Specialist for the Girl Scouts of Central Texas. I've been with the Council since December 2013. Before that, I worked for the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles for two years. I hold a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership and a BA in Theatre. I have a lot of experience working with children and I really enjoy it!
Here's a little background on me that you won’t get from reading my resume: I have two black belts, one in Tae Kwon Do and the other in Shotokan Karate. I currently train in kickboxing and Krav Maga. On September 30, I will celebrate my one year wedding anniversary with my husband, Alec. We have two rescued dogs, Roxy and Henry (photo attached). We also have 3 adorable nephews and one beautiful niece - courtesy of my older brother and sister. I also love to go SCUBA diving, fishing, snowboarding, camping, hiking…practically anything outdoors or athletic.
My husband runs a martial arts school and teaches children and adults in Pflugerville. I also love improv and theatre. In LA, I performed with an improv group at Comedy Sportz and have been in several (small) professional productions. With my training in martial arts, I also performed and choreographed fight choreography for theater and independent film.
I love providing our girls with opportunities that they may not have outside of Girl Scouts, expanding their horizons, and letting them see that they can achieve anything. With the Gold Award, I love seeing the girls grow throughout the course of their project, from the beginning to end. The leadership, passion, creativity, and determination they demonstrate is awe-inspiring. I’m so proud of what our girls do!
