About Ellen Hwang

Passionate and versatile professional with a diverse background spanning photography, event management, mentorship, and nonprofit leadership. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a Language Citation in French at Harvard University. As the Senior Director of English Committees and Programming at the Harvard Association Cultivating Inter-American Democracy, I led a team in the meticulous planning and execution of committees emulating the Organization of American States branches of the United Nations. My experience extends to mentoring through Curious Cardinals, where I develop tailored curriculums for elementary and high school students. Additionally, my tenure as a board member at the International Relations Council involved strategic oversight of budgets and financial responsibilities, contributing to impactful outcomes for the organization\'s mission. I am adept at managing complex logistics, negotiating contracts, and spearheading innovative initiatives, as demonstrated during my tenure as the Chief Finance Officer at Harvard Model United Nations, where I achieved significant revenue growth and exceeded targets. Skilled in multimedia design and proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, I have led teams in creating cohesive branding and compelling visual content for various organizations and events, including the Harvard Project for Asian International Relations and Harvard Student Agency. With a commitment to excellence and a passion for making a difference, I am eager to continue leveraging my skills and experiences to drive positive change and create meaningful impact.
