Contact: oshini_keerthisinghe@myabcusd.org
Hello delegates! My name is Oshini Keerthisinghe and I will be your director for the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Committee. As a senior, this will be my fourth year in the Model United Nations program. Participating in the Model UN program in Cerritos allowed me to understand and discover the current events and issues around the world and shed light upon issues that never even crossed my mind. Debating in committees ranging from Ad Hoc on Terror to UNICEF, I have always been interested in environmental or humanitarian- based committees. At school, I am an officer in the club, American Cancer Society, an active member of the National Speech and Debate Association and Link Crew. Additionally, I have been a member of the Cross Country team for 3 years. Since my sophomore year, I have aided patients at PrimeCare Senior Health Care Facility and started an internship as a student teacher in Moreno Valley’s Buddhist temple. Apart from MUN, I enjoy listening to Khalid, watching new Netflix shows and trying new boba places around Los Angeles with my friends. With that being said, I know you guys might feel nervous, but take this conference as a learning experience by improving your speaking abilities and staying confident. Please email me if you have any questions, I am so excited to see you guys soon!
