Hello everyone! My name is Ashley Han and I am honored to be entering my fourth and final year in the CHSMUN program as a Secretary-General. First entering this program, I honestly had no idea what I was getting into, but I am immensely thankful to my freshman self for making that decision. Other than MUN, I choose to devote my time to being Secretary of my school’s HOSA chapter, Vice-President of National Honor Society, volunteering at a local hospital, listening to Taylor Swift, going on sweet treat runs, and taking pictures of my travels (I have been to 18 countries so far)! Reflecting on the last three years, I cannot imagine highschool without the connections, learning experiences, and even the long hours of research before a conference. One thing I have learned throughout this program is that MUN can present itself as challenging and intimidating, no matter how many conferences you attend - however, I always find that there is something to learn from each experience as a delegate. With its highs, lows, and everything in between, I have grown to truly appreciate MUN and all it has provided me with the past three years, and I hope you all find development in the same way. Feel free to contact me and tell me all about it!

What’s up delegates! I’m Andrew and I’m stoked to serve as one of your DAOs this year! I’ve been in MUN since 8th grade and have come to love the topics I debate about. I can’t wait to help you all grow as people and delegates, as some of my favorite memories have come from MUN. Outside of MUN, you can find me in HOSA, ACS, or even on the street running for XC/Track! In my free time, I love watching and playing sports, listening to music, and trying new things, from traveling to places around the world to eating the world's hottest gummy bear. If you have any questions or just want someone to talk to, hit me up!

Hi guys! I’m Krishay Sharma and I am extremely excited and grateful to be your Delegate Affairs Officer this year! I first began Model UN in 7th grade and am now in my sixth year of MUN and ever since then it has definitely been a significant part of my life. Among all the friends I have met, preparation I have done, and committees I have been in, MUN has given me experiences I will never forget and now I get to share this with you guys! Especially as a freshman, MUN can feel stressful at times but it is very rewarding not only with your committee performance but also with your confidence as a whole. Other than MUN, I am involved in clubs such as HOSA, PAWSFORCAUSE, UNICEF, and MAZA and am also on the school water polo team. I love traveling whether it be to a nearby spot camping or possibly even to another country to learn new cultures and traditions. Overall, I am thrilled to be your DAO this year, and already know all of you will do amazing things in MUN. If you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to email or text me at any time!!

Hey guys! I’m so HAPPY to be your DAO this school year. A little bit about me, I’m involved in our school’s water polo and swim team. I love hanging out with friends, stealing other people’s food, and most of all, responding to your emails. MUN has taught me so much about public speaking and communication, and a lot of those skills transferring to the TedxTalk I gave last year. MUN will make you a better communicator. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a quick call or email :)

What’s up Delegates! My name is Nevyl Panicker and I am so thrilled to be one of your DAOs this year. Outside of MUN, I play on our CHS varsity tennis team. You can also find me around campus at clubs such as UNICEF, Lighthouse and American Cancer Society. I am a big fan of music, playing the guitar, binge-watching Netflix and getting some quality sleep. For the past three years, MUN has been a rollercoaster ride, carrying me through many highs and lows. However, I can say with confidence that this program has changed my life for the better. It’s been a transformative experience, bringing incredible friendships and eye-opening insights into real-world issues. MUN has embraced me with open arms, and I’m confident it will do the same for you. This year I look forward to helping y'all grow in your confidence, research skills and public speaking. As your DAO, don’t hesitate to ask questions—whether you need feedback on your position papers or want to run through your speeches. I’m here to help and support you every step of the way!!

Hey everyone! My name is Nikhita, and I’m so excited to be one of your DAOs for this school year. I've been part of MUN for the past three years, and it has been such a memorable experience that has helped me build confidence in both my speaking abilities and research skills. Whether you need help finding feasible solutions, writing speeches, or just want someone to talk to, you can always contact me! Outside of MUN, I’m involved in ASB, the Business and Economics Club, and UNICEF. Some of my favorite things to do outside of school are watching the sunset at the beach, baking for my friends, and hanging out with my friends. Through MUN, I've made lifelong friendships and have been surrounded by such a supportive community. I understand how overwhelming and confusing your first conference can be, but I’m here to guide you through this whole process. I hope that by the end of the year, you will all be more confident in yourself and your speaking abilities! Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you need help or just want someone to talk to! I can’t wait to meet you all!

What’s up guys! My name is Timothy Liu and this is my 3rd year in MUN, and I am excited to be one of your Delegate Affairs Officers for 2023-2024! In the beginning of Freshman year I had no idea what MUN was or why I was even in the class. At my first conference I was clueless and had no idea what to expect, so I was playing Roblox half the time (don’t do this). I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have experienced MUN and hope to guide you delegates through the process of MUN so you won’t have to be clueless and play Roblox during your committee! Outside of MUN, I’m the captain of sprints for our Track team, and I also play for our Varsity Football team. In my spare time I enjoy going to the beach, trying new foods, and spending time with friends and family. Overall MUN has impacted my life in so many ways, and I hope to help all of you grow throughout the program! Please feel free to reach out to my social medias with any questions |
