Estella Zhao

New York City, Ny

Hello there! My name is Estella and I'm a Vancouverite living in New York City with a passion for marketing, human resources, and world affairs.

I am the co-founder and Director of Human Resources for ACE Foundation International, a youth non-profit aimed towards providing resources and mentorship for inner-city students.

In high school, I was an avid debater, public speaker, and conference-organizer. As the Director of Sponsorship for Canadian International Model UN (CAIMUN), I gained experience in reaching out to corporate donors. I also served as the Chief of Staff and Deputy Secretary General-Internal for Canada High school Model UN (CAHSMUN), where I recruited, trained, and coordinated over forty conference staff. Ranked third in my region and top eight for the University of British Columbia (UBC) Championships, I am a provincially-ranked debater.

In my spare time, you can always find me pondering about what to eat for my next meal, obsessing over cute dogs, and drinking an overly-excessive amount of iced green tea!

I love meeting/connecting with people and learning about their stories and passions so shoot me a message anytime! :)
