Hello There

Hi everyone! I'm Liam and I'll be a vice chair for BMUN 66's DISEC. This is my third year as a secretariat. I'm really looking forward to meeting and interacting with you all during our conference in March; we have two really awesome topics that will hopefully make for some great experiences in committee. Here's a bit more about me:

I'm a senior at Cal majoring in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. In my free time  I like to golf, play video games (especially PUBG), and do anything that has to do with Star Wars. Outside of BMUN, I'm in an engineering consulting club as well as a social fraternity.

Hello!

Hello, my name is Elle Mahdavi, and I will be your vice-chair for DISEC BMUN 66! I’m a second year majoring in Political Economy with a double minor in French and Public Policy. I’m originally from Laguna Beach, CA. When I’m not hanging out with other BMUN members or doing schoolwork, I enjoy going to art museums, watching movies, and eating food. This is my second year in BMUN and my sixth year participating in MUN overall. I hope to work in global governance or with refugees in my future. I look forward to seeing you all in committee!

Hiya!

My name is Michelle McLean and I will be one of your vice chairs for DISEC. Currently, I am freshmen intending on double majoring in Rhetoric and Political Science (with an emphasis in International Relations). On campus I am involved in Berkeley Model United Nations (BMUN), Rally Committee, Berkeley Democrats, and Hall Association. In my spare time I love reading, watching John Oliver and Stephen Colbert, keeping up with international politics, and eating plenty of waffles (I aspire to one day epitomize Leslie Knope). I am so excited to be able to see you guys debate on topics that are becoming increasingly relevant in the international sphere. If you need any help do not hesitate to email me at mmclean@bmun.org.

Hello!

Hi! My name is Richard Jin. I was born in Houston, Texas but lived most of my life in Shanghai, China. I am a freshman here at Berkeley and intend to double major in Business and Computer Science. Aside from MUN, I enjoy playing tennis and the piano. I am also a hardcore Star Wars fan. If any of you guys want an extensive conversation about Last Jedi, find me! In addition to BMUN, I am also involved with a business consulting club and a tennis club. I am really excited to meet all of you in March and will happily answer any questions through email (rjin@bmun.org).

Greetings from your head chair

My name is Stevie and I will be your head chair of the UN General Assembly First Committee: Disarmament and International Security. This is my second year as a member of the BMUN secretariat and fifth time staffing a Model United Nations conference. I am currently a senior studying chemical engineering with the hopes of pursuing a career in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. Outside of class, I’m involved in a research lab, a professional fraternity, a social fraternity, and various professional groups on campus. I spend my free time walking dogs and producing YouTube videos and other online content. I'm excited to get this blog started and I can't wait to see all of you in March!
