Winter 2017 – Spring 2018

Made sure events in the library’s auditorium ran smoothly. Worked with the presenters (from all kind of organizations, like the improv club and acapella group) to make sure everything was up to par. Controlled everything in the auditorium during events, from the audio to the lights. When something went wrong, knew who to ask for help.

August 2017, February 2018

I attended the United Nation’s Youth Assembly which is a summit of international youth leaders who gather at the UN in New York City to hear different presentations on a wide range of topics. All the topics relate to the session’s topic which changes every session.
