One of the most memorable moments from my childhood was being seated in front of the TV one night and watching Antonio Guterres be elected the United Nations Secretary-General. I did not fully understand what was happening, but I nevertheless felt drawn to it. Working in an international environment geared towards solving world issues has always energized me, and I found a much bigger dose of that little taste I had watching Al Jazeera in 2016 by volunteering for civil society organizations like MUN Impact and YIP in high school. The lessons I’ve learned from my colleagues and work situations will last me a lifetime. When I’m not volunteering in the public policy sphere, you’ll find me studying random history topics, enjoying old BBC nature documentaries, or messing around as an amateur digital artist!
