Meet the Board!

Meet the 2024-2025 board!

Aparna Jayasankar

Hello everyone! I’m Aparna Jayasankar and I am so excited to be SCVMUN 55’s Secretary General. This will be my fourth year in MUN as a senior. I'm excited to see what each of you will contribute this year and look forward to watching you enjoy yourselves while participating in meaningful and constructive discussions. A cool fact about me is I’m a classically trained Bharatanatyam dancer and Carnatic singer. I’ve done 50+ performances in my life time. I’m also a massive mystery novel enthusiast. Agatha Christie is one of my most favored authors. I will read any book, anywhere, but my favorite spot to read has to be the seaside! The thing I love about Model UN is the alliances and partnerships we form with people we meet. Aside from all the debate, interesting topics, and suits (the best part, obviously), I love how MUN is the more collaborative and synergistic side of debate. Everyone is cooperating to find creative resolutions to these real-world problems! Seeing so many delegates working together during SCV is a unique experience, and I can’t wait to see more familiar faces at SCVMUN 55!

Elise BEal

Hi! I'm Elise, a senior here at Santa Teresa and the current Director General. As the Director General, I take care of staffing SCVMUN. This means I manage everything from finding directors to making sure the topics are decided. My favorite memories have to be exploring New York with my friends for NHSMUN, and then winning the Best School Delegation award! Some fun facts about me are I'm on Team USA Karate, love to paint and do photography, and recently got published! I look forward to seeing everyone at the conference!

Teddy nguyen

Hi! I'm Teddy Nguyen and your Trainer for this year! As the name implies, it is my job to train and prepare you for our upcoming conferences. I am excited to attempt to make trainings fun and engaging, allowing for anyone to get into the groove of MUN! Model UN has always been a soft spot of mine, where I was able to shine and show growth over the last three years as well as make life long memories that I would trade nothing for! The friends and community here are what truly draws me closer to this club, and I hope that you can join us! This club has allowed me to break out of comfort zone and improve upon myself, and I wish to help you reach the point that you want to reach! MUN is an incredible experience that I wish to spend together! :)

Siyan Mu

Hi, I’m Siyan, your USG of Finance this year. My job is mainly to track, and ease the process of, all monetary transactions for the club. That includes registration payments for our conference, SCVMUN. When I resolve those tasks, my time is usually spent on long-distance runs, or adjusting my (excessively many) fountain pens. In the past I have been fond of reading high fantasy, but now I am immersed in a mesmerizing journey of historical studies. Although I am only a sophomore this year, I can state with resolute certainty that I have found a place in MUN; it has truly changed me and my openness for the better. It is always an exhilarating experience to research a new topic, participate in a unique committee, and discuss the innumerable proposals. There is no better way to understand the world than to immerse yourself into MUN, an adventure I highly recommend.

Peyton Frost

Hi everyone! I'm Peyton, 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 sports and am on the Santa Teresa wrestling team. I also love baking (and eating), and I'm a huge nerd when it comes to anything Marvel. One of my favorite memories with MUN was our exchange program to Rome, where I got to travel with some of my best friends while learning and experiencing a new style of debate. SCVMUN was the first conference I won best delegate, and it is such a welcoming environment for all experience levels. I am so excited to contribute to your experience, and I can’t wait to meet you all in January!

Lilli Beal

Hi everyone! I’m Lilli, and I’m your USG of Delegational Affairs! I’ll be taking care of traveling logistics, like housing arrangements, transportation arrangements, and everything in between. I am so grateful to be on our MUN board here at Santa Teresa, and I promise to do my very best to ensure you all have the best experience! I love MUN and the incredible opportunities this club gives us, including the friendships and learning opportunities we gain along the way. I know our generation can make an impact on today’s world, and I believe that MUN is that gateway! Our tight knit community is what I believe truly makes our club special. In my free time I enjoy teaching and practicing karate, as well as doing musical theater and playing the electric guitar! I love this club with passion, and can’t wait to give back to you all through my position!

Ellie le

Hi everyone! I'm Ellie and I'm your USG of Records, which means that I handle all the paperwork and spreadsheets that pass through the club. Throughout my year in MUN, I've been able to gain all manner of valuable experiences and skills as well as insight to the processes/events that shape our world. Beyond that, however, I've been able to connect with a whole community of friends and role models! I love to keep myself busy, so while I might not always be writing position papers or debating in committee, you can be sure I'm either trying my hand at a big project or off traveling with my friends and family. Reading is a major hobby of mine, and listening to me go on a tangent about a fandom is not a feat for the faint of heart.
