Going into her senior year at Magee Secondary School, Gloria is beyond excited to serve as the Director of Human Resources for STRIVE 2027! After stumbling into her first case competition, she quickly became fascinated by how the same problem could lead to countless completely unique solutions. Since then, she’s found herself drawn not only to the strategy behind each case, but to the people behind them, their stories, ideas, and perspectives. This year, she hopes to bring that same curiosity to connecting attendees with speakers, judges, and others who have their own stories to share, creating an experience that stays with them long after the competition. Outside of the business world, Gloria can be found learning new dances, walking for hours with her music at max volume, or crafting increasingly elaborate gifts for her friends. She is also addicted to taking BuzzFeed quizzes far too seriously, and browsing for ragdoll cats despite having absolutely no chance of getting one. Gloria can’t wait to watch STRIVE 2027 come to life and meet everyone along the way!
