Lia Bellomio, Business Director
Lia joined UNAR as its business director in January 2024. Born and raised in Rochester, Lia is excited to bring her experience to the organization to help it thrive. Lia got her bachelor’s in Politics from Ithaca College where she was a Martin Luther King Scholar. This program allowed her to travel to multiple countries doing comparative research on domestic violence. She was able to visit the United Kingdom, Ghana, and live abroad in Sydney, Australia interning at a local nonprofit, The Sydney Story Factory. After receiving her Master’s in Higher Education Administration from SUNY University at Buffalo, Lia worked at various higher education institutions in New York and New Hampshire before relocating back to Rochester to work as a college counselor at a local high school. She has always been passionate about social justice and DEI work and after transitioning away from working in education, is excited to continue her work now in this new role with UNAR.
Roisin Meyer, UNAR Intern
My name is Roisin Meyer and I am pursuing a degree in International Relations and Economics at the University of Rochester. I am passionate about conflict resolution and global governance, and I plan on working at an intergovernmental or supranational organization in the future that facilitates diplomatic ties between nations and addresses worldwide challenges. For the past two years, I have worked as a research assistant for the University of Rochester’s Political Science Department, identifying and analyzing map border shifts in South America overtime. I have studied both French and German, and recently completed a study abroad program in Germany, which placed a heavy focus and study on the European Union. I am excited to make an impact through the United Nations Association Internship, to help promote the mission of the United Nations.
