Intern
Greater New York City Area
Over the Summer of 2018, I worked with the Youth Development Team for the 22nd Session of the Youth Assembly at the United Nations. I worked to help plan the Assembly, run delegate and sponsor outreach, help in the delegate selection process, research partners/sponsors for career-oriented and professional development opportunities, research and contact various UN Missions and other UN members or reps, organize sessions and workshops during the YA, and plan how to better engage youth during and post conference. My team helped in the design, content writing, and the successful implementation of a new project called the Impact Challenge and a new role associated with the competition called the Impact Facilitator. The Challenge invites participating Delegates to develop original, impactful, and innovative solutions to human development, peace and security, and environmental issues in the UN's 2030 SDGs Agenda. During the five-day Assembly in NYC, I ensured programs ran smoothly, met and engaged with our speakers and delegates, ran and moderated sessions, and gave a speech on our Word Cloud Project at the official Closing Ceremony. Proficiency in GoToMeeting, Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, all Google platforms, Skype, and Social Media platforms.
