Meet the 2026-2027 board!
Secretary General - Siyan Mu
Hello everyone, my name is Siyan, and I am honored to be the Secretary General of SCVMUN LVI. As a junior, I already have extensive board experience from being the USG of Finance last year. I endeavor to make the MUN experience at Santa Teresa High School as efficient and error-free as possible while we modernize our technological infrastructure. In MUN, I always look forward to rigorous research and connections to reality, which will be a significant theme of SCVMUN LVI. Outside of Model United Nations, I spend my time training with the distance running team and studying history. Also, I occasionally enjoy a good video game match with my friends. I look forward to seeing the productive debate and innovative solutions this January.
Director General - Olivia Chen
Hello everyone! My name is Olivia Chen and I am the Director General of SCVMUN LVI. As the Director General, I oversee the staff and directors for every committee. So basically, I’m the person who makes sure you have chairs, background guides, and crisis staffers. I am also in my junior year of high school at Santa Teresa and I’ve been in this club for all three years. I love reading, specifically historical fiction, and I’d love to chat!
This entire year, for me at least, has been a labor of love. I’ve poured days of my life into this conference and I really hope all of you truly enjoy this experience and learn something new! As a final message from me to all delegates, you are what makes this possible for us so thank you, not only for this year, but also the years prior and everything in between!
P.S. if you want a photo with the massive gavel, feel free to ask!!
Trainer - Ethan Park
Hello! I'm Ethan Park and one of the Trainers for this year! This is my second year as Trainer, in which I am tasked with preparing every year's delegates to learn how to engage in conferences! When I'm not in conference I enjoy going on walks or playing video games (albeit more than nessessary.) Model UN will always be like a second family that helped me become more outgoing, and I hope I can do a good job introducing others into its flow! All of my favorite memories of Model UN include any time I am able to bond with other delegates, it is exciting that I am allowed to share MUN with others. I hope to give you all the chance for the experience, and give it enough for you to stay.
Trainer - Joshua Hwang
Hello, my name is Joshua Hwang, and I am the USG of Training alongside Ethan. I joined Model UN in my freshman year, and it’s been the most transformative experience for me. Going to all of these conferences with my friends, learning to socialize, and making silly jokes in committee has helped form me into the person I am.
One thing that I’ve learned through MUN is that it’s not that deep all the time. As you are in a committee and engaging in serious debate, it is important to balance not only diplomacy, but also having fun and making friends along the way. The delegate who takes the most value from a conference is not the gavel winner or the power delegate; it is the person who had a lot of fun. We look forward to making SCVMUN this conference, mixing fun and diplomacy in an accepting community.
USG of Finance - Ellie Le
Hello! I’m excited to serve as this year’s USG of Finance as I undergo the third year of my Model UN experience (and high school, where it’s getting quite busy)! I have a wide array of interests and hobbies that don’t always center around policy debate or public speech, but it has been undeniable that MUN is a constant source of growth amongst it all. Also being a part of the robotics team at my school, I love to represent a bridge between technology and diplomacy. From the rapid pace and sharp communities in committee to the stress of planning a conference, Model UN is enriching in a way that I truly believe cannot be found anywhere else. In other contexts, I am passionate in travel, engineering, and playing music at home. Fun fact: I’ve been to over 17 countries and 6 out of 7 continents (not counting layovers)! I can’t wait to meet this year’s wave of future world leaders, and I’ll see you at SCVMUN 56!
USG of Logistics - Sahaj Mishra
Hello! My name is Sahaj Mishra and I will be the USG of Logistics for SCVMUN 56! Next year, I will be a sophomore and am incredibly excited to make sure that SCVMUN will run smoothly from the backend! This usually involves making sure there’s no issues with school’s registrations, payments, and assignments via technology. Some things about me are that I play competitive soccer and have been playing since I was 5. I’m also a vegetarian and have never eaten a piece of meat in my life. I enjoy MUN because of its unique take on researching specific topics and then debating/collaborating on them to find some (kind of) random, creative solution. I also enjoy all the connections you make with others in and out of conference. One final thing about me is that I have a 900+ day Duolingo streak (that’s likely going to be over 1000 by the time you read this).
USG of Public Relations - Kavya Raval
Hi everyone! I'm Kavya, and I'll be this year's USG of Public Relations. I work behind the scenes managing the website, social media, and certain design elements of the conference. In my free time, I enjoy I am so excited to contribute to your experience, and I can’t wait to meet you all in January!
USG of Delegational Affairs - Cora Francis
Hi I’m Cora, your USG of Delegational Affairs. I am a junior and am so excited to meet the new faces of model un and watch new delegates fall in love with the welcoming environment that is model un! I joined the club as a sophomore and instantly felt like I had found a second family. It is so great going to conferences and being someone else for a day. My favorite part of model un is that every time I start my position paper or enter the committee room, I feel like I’m playing make believe. There really is nothing like tackling anything from CO2 emissions in my first conference to Indonesian mythology in my lastest conference that makes every late night of research worth it. In model un you can collaborate with such a wide range of people and gain new perspectives in a way you don’t in school. And you get to come home and impress your friends and family with your new conversation topics. Suddenly you have something to talk about with your smart cousin. A fun fact about me is that I love to swim. I have been on a club swim swim since I was 4 years old and practically grew up in the water. When I started high school, I joined waterpolo, which I like so much more than just swimming laps. I have always been an extremely extroverted person and that is probably why I enjoy model un so much. I am so excited for this next year and for SCVMUN 2026!
USG of Records - Ambika Sethi
Hey y’all, I’m Ambika, your USG of Records for this year! I’ll be handling all the paperwork and data for our club’s many members and conferences! There’s a lot of work and time that goes into MUN, from researching years of international relations to innovating modern solutions. However, it’s always worth it for the fun of creating new worlds with my peers. If I’m not in the club room with my friends, you can probably find me walking my dog, making paper roses and yummy desserts, or exploring some cool astrophysics topic. The universe is a boundless place, and the fact that we can exist on this planet within three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension AND engage in socio-political discussions is a feat of magic worthy of the stars themselves. Looking forward to a wonderful year with you all ☆〜（ゝ。∂）
Past adventures with mun!
