  Crisis Analyst

  As a Crisis Analyst for GatorMUN XIX, I worked in a team of five to curate the delegate experience for a group of 40 high schoolers competing in a Model United Nations simulation. This committee was called America, Inc. and challenged delegates to take the roles of various CEOs as they navigated an alternate reality where corporations have complete control of the government. As an analyst, I provided them with crises the delegates had to solve, leading them through structured debate. I used Canva, TikTok, and other platforms to create content that kept the delegates engaged in committee. Show less
