Marco Gori

I am currently a student at the University of Virginia where I am double majoring in Anthropology and French. In my time at UVA I have competed on their nationally ranked Model UN team where I won best delegate at my first GA committee. I also was on my high school's debate team where I attended nationals twice.

I was a volunteer English tutor training international graduate students how to be effective teaching assistants and to improve their English fluency. For two years I was a coach on my high schools's debate team training new members Lincoln Douglas debate. Lastly, I worked as a private French tutor where I improved my ability to give individualized feedback.

I have taken creative writing classes while at UVA as well as French literature and translation classes. I also completed a year long study regarding student attitudes on plants; my research paper on the subject received a perfect score from AP Research scorers. My success in debate and Model UN also highlights my ability to write persuasively and concisely.

I have had great experiences with learning thanks to passionate teachers. I believe that through working with students I can help them develop that same hunger for knowledge that inspires me to take a class on a new subject or down a new internet rabbit hole.

In my free time I can be found hiking, cooking, or taking care of my houseplants. I also love learning languages and am learning Korean. I also spend my time salsa dancing with UVA's salsa club.
