My journey into the UN was the culmination of years of preparation, learning, and quiet hope. Today, after having served honorably at UN Headquarters (UNHQ) and pivoting to private sector with Microsoft, I want to share everything I know about getting into the UN โ especially if you are dreaming of beginning your career there.
When I moved to New York City in 2022 to join the United Nations, it was both a culmination and an upheaval. I was leaving behind a thriving company I had built โ a life I loved โ and stepping into the unknown in a new country, a new system, with a heavy heart.
