Meet the Board!

Meet the 2025-2026 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!

Ethan Park

Hello! I'm Ethan Park and the Trainer for this year! As Trainer, I am tasked with preparing every year's delegates to learn how to engage in conferences! Outside of the club, I enjoy going out to take pictures and delve into video games (a little more than necessary). 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.

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.

Olivia Chen

I’m the USG of Logistics, so my job is to manage the website and database of the club to ensure SCVMUN runs smoothly. I mostly just have to make sure we have no issues with the data. I’m still very new to MUN but I’ve already made amazing memories and many new friends. It was especially fun to help organize SCVMUN since I’d always be chatting with new people and getting myself more involved with the community this club has built. Some things to know about me is I love to read, I’m a huge fan of open world games, and I want to major in aerospace engineering when I go to college.

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.
