01 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
More than a title.
A story in progress.
I'm Quinta Khatoro , an international student from Kenya currently studying Computer Programming at Humber College in Canada.
My interests stretch across leadership, communication and the creative arts. From chairing a Model United Nations conference to capturing a city through my camera, I enjoy experiences that bring people together, tell stories and turn ideas into something real.
I bring an open mind, a willingness to learn and the perspective of someone who has experienced student life across cultures.

02 / MY INTERNATIONAL STUDENT JOURNEY
From Nairobi
to new horizons.
Moving from Kenya to Canada has been more than changing countries. It has been learning how to build community in a new place while carrying the lessons of home with me.
Starting a new chapter at Humber College has challenged me to become more independent, adaptable and intentional about the connections I make. It has also helped me understand how important it is for international students to feel welcomed, represented and supported as they find their place.
I know what it feels like to arrive somewhere unfamiliar, navigate new systems and discover your community one conversation at a time. That perspective is something I would bring to the International Student Ambassador role.
“
Every new environment is an opportunity to learn, contribute and help someone else feel a little more at home.
03 / LEADERSHIP & COMMUNITY
Showing up.
Taking initiative.
Experiences that have shaped how I communicate, collaborate and contribute to a team.
ST JOHN AMBULANCE
Cadet leadership
Involvement in St John activities especially as cadet leader helped develop my sense of responsibility, service and teamwork.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Save a Life Walkathon
Participated in the 2025 charity walkathon in support of St John Ambulance and its emergency-care awareness work.
MODEL UNITED NATIONS
Finding my voice.
Finding my voice.
Making room for others.
Model United Nations has given me space to research global issues, communicate ideas and engage with different perspectives. I have participated as a delegate and taken on the responsibility of serving as a Junior Chair at an EAMUN conference.
Chairing a committee strengthened my confidence in facilitation, listening, organisation and helping conversations move forward constructively.

08 / RESEARCH & WRITING
Ideas worth
putting into words.
Research, structure and communication are part of how I engage with the world.
This sample is from a Model United Nations position paper prepared for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), representing Jamaica. It explores climate change, waste management and regional environmental action.
It reflects my interest in researching complex issues, organising information and communicating a position with clarity.

09 / WHY I WOULD BE A GOOD FIT
I remember what
being new feels like.
I would bring empathy, initiative and an international perspective to the International Student Ambassador role.
- I can relate. I've experienced the transition of moving from Kenya to Canada to pursue my education.
- I enjoy connecting. My MUN and leadership experiences have helped me become a thoughtful communicator and an active listener.
- I take initiative. Through event organisation, student activities and creative projects, I've learned to contribute rather than wait to be asked.
- I bring a creative lens. Photography, videography and writing have taught me to tell stories and share experiences in engaging ways.
- I'm still learning. I would approach the role with curiosity, reliability and a genuine willingness to grow while supporting others.
10 / LET'S CONNECT
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME

people feel welcome.
I'd love the opportunity to contribute to the Humber community and help make the international student experience feel more connected.
