• Managed multiple social media platforms, ensuring a consistent brand voice and message.

My role during the simulation, which was a Summit to discuss defence-spending, was of defence counsellor. I had to argue and defend the interests of my delegation.

• Skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
• Public-speaking, debating, but also negotiating with my colleagues from other delegations to achieve consensus.
• Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations.

During my time as Head of Editing for The Bell, I had to coordinate and proofread several articles to be published on the issues. I had to interact with my colleagues at the Bell but also with prospective writers and be able to critically assess pieces and deliver constructive feedback to authors.

• Oversaw the selection of freelance editors, ensuring high-quality work from external contributors.
• Collaborated with authors to refine content and ensure consistency throughout their work.

The research project about the perception of the military dictatorship in Brazil entailed designing and executing a qualitative research project, including data collection, coding and thematic analysis. I conducted interviews with subjects and presented my findings before a board for approval.

• Learned and adapted quickly to new technology and software applications.
