Head Chair Introduction: Celine Wherritt

 


Hello, everyone! My name is Celine Wherritt, and I will be your head chair for this session's Berkeley Venture Capital.


I’m a senior at UC Berkeley studying Business Administration with a minor in Global Poverty and Practice, with an interest in corporate social responsibility and consulting. I am super passionate about entrepreneurship and urban tech, so I am eager to hear about the solutions you all propose. In my free time, I am a huge fan of competitive napping and rereading childhood books. After graduation, I will be working in a corporate strategy role in New York City, so feel free to reach out if you're interested in learning more about that!

I’m looking forward to chairing this committee of undoubtedly skilled delegates! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at cwherritt@bmun.org or bvcbmunlxx@bmun.org.

For instance, the demand for one-use plastics increased by 40% in 2020 at the peak of the pandemic. During the pandemic, many businesses focused on short-term profit to stay afloat, and sustainability was often deprioritized in order to prepare for a global lockdown. The United Nations stressed that COVID-19 has undone decades of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, including goals towards sustainable development. COVID-19 and climate change alike do not affect everyone equally; in fact, such global crises highlight structural inequalities for the impoverished, for women, and for people of col...
