In the first few months of last year, Demi O’Shea was presented with the wonderful opportunity to represent Campbell’s Jewellery as a Senior Ambassador in 2024’s historic Burdekin Water Festival.
A major pathway for self-development, personal growth and community engagement, Demi accepted the nomination and began one of her most memorable and significant experiences she’ll treasure for years to come.
“On a personal level the Water Festival allowed me to unlock my full potential as it was an experience, I could whole-heartedly throw myself into,” shared Demi.
“Prior to the journey, I lacked a lot of self-confidence, but I soon realised the wealth of a support system I had behind me and I was able to understand the potential that they all saw in me, because I felt it - being around such an outstanding group of people all throughout the experience truly changed me for the better.”
Demi was announced the Burdekin Water Festival’s Winning Senior Ambassador for 2024, and in light of 2025’s event, Demi has joined the official Committee to ensure the Festival’s continuation and future success.
“My journey certainly would not have been the same without our community support, and it means the entire world to me to be your 2024 Burdekin Water Festival Senior Ambassador Winner,” expressed Demi.
“The hard work, dedication and support that our community puts towards the event is admirable, and to be part of rebuilding that legacy with our amazing Committee is incredibly surreal.”
Reflecting on her journey, Demi believes saying yes, all those months ago was the best decision she could have made, and she strongly encourages those thinking about becoming a 2025 Ambassador to take full advantage of the program.
“I took a chance on myself, and so should you,” explained Demi.
“You owe it to yourself to experience the magic that the Burdekin Water festival not only brings our community, but you as an Ambassador and you deserve to see yourself as the confident and worthy individual you are, and this whole experience will allow you to feel that within yourself.”
In Demi’s time as a 2024 Senior Ambassador, she was fortunate enough to witness the personal development of the Junior Ambassadors firsthand from beginning to end and she encourages the youth of the Burdekin to be brave and put themselves forward for 2025’s Festival.
