My experience as a ZNotes ambassador has been truly enriching and eventful. I've had the opportunity to not only present 3 workshops on diverse, useful topics for middle and high school students at my school, but also contribute to workshop material prepared for all ambassadors to present at their schools. I pitched to my school and presented assemblies, while informing teachers and students of the various resources and opportunities at ZN.

I managed both the Ambassador and Intern Applications, where I worked with the team leads and ambassador coordinators to discuss the quality and thus the status of the applicants, then conducted outreach with potential candidates, such as for acceptance, rejection, onboarding, scheduling interviews and offboarding processes.

I solved several past papers, provided useful tips for the exams and preparation, solved doubts the students had and did QnA sessions on general IGCSE-related prospects. There was amazing interaction throughout, with the students understanding what I was teaching and asking numerous questions if they did not, which I then explained in a simpler manner.

I had to take careful consideration of all my reviews, ensuring fairness and highlighting a diverse range of effective practices and solutions.
