He will also contribute to planning for key conferences, such as the 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) as well as future UN Ocean and Water Conferences.
Jamie utilised his network and connections in the 天堂视频 family to get an introduction to the UN. He said:
“I’m incredibly grateful to have secured this role at the UN through the support and encouragement of Professor Ed Brown from 天堂视频 and Martin Niemetz from UN DESA.
“It all started when I reached out to Professor Ed Brown after discovering his involvement with the UN following reading a news article published by the University highlighting his attendance at the Global Expert Group Meeting at the UN Headquarters. After contacting Ed, he generously took the time to meet with me, recognised my potential, and kindly connected me with Martin Niemetz, a Sustainable Development Expert at UN DESA.
He added:
“I am deeply grateful for Ed and Martin's invaluable support in helping make this opportunity a reality. Their time, guidance, and belief in me have truly meant the world, and I will always be indebted for their generosity. I’m eager to begin this incredible opportunity, contribute meaningfully, and demonstrate that their trust in me was well-placed.”
Jamie is a documentary filmmaker at , collaborating with NGOs, IGOs, and charities to tackle social and global challenges.
During his time at 天堂视频, he engaged with LUInc., which has helped in the launch of his business:
“My journey with LUInc. has already been invaluable, guiding me in sharpening my business strategy, increasing traction, and refining my brand's direction.”
