Vice Chair Introduction!

Hi everyone! I'm Gigi Choy, one of your vice chairs for BMUN 66. I was born and raised in Hong Kong. I am currently a senior majoring in Political Economy and minoring in History.

Vice Chair Introduction!

Hi all! I'm Alex, one of your vice-chairs for BMUN 66, with this being my 6th year of involvement with Model UN and my second year as a chair.  I'm currently a second-year at Cal, intending to major in Computer Science and Business Administration. Outside of school and Model UN, I'm a fan of reading biographies, listening to hip-hop music, and playing volleyball. I look forward to an entire weekend of debate, collaboration and fun, Alex

Vice Chair Introduction!

Hey everyone, I’m Olivia Everhard, and I’m one of your Vice-Chairs for BMUN 66! I’m a sophomore here at Cal, majoring in Political Economy and minoring in French. I’m originally from Manhattan Beach, California. I love the beach and the outdoors, so when I’m not doing school work I try my best to explore the Bay Area, go on hikes, and adventure outside of Berkeley. Aside from BMUN, I’m also involved in the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC), where I work on projects improving relations within the Greek community. This is my sixth year participating in Model UN overall and my first year in BMUN. Model UN has played a large role in my life— it has guided me towards my major, and inspired me to become more engaged in politics and international affairs. I am truly looking forward to a great weekend of debate! See you all in March, Olivia 

Head Chair - Introduction

Hi everyone, My name is Daksh Bhatia, and I’m a junior studying Computer Science and Economics here at UC Berkeley. I’m originally from New Jersey, but the allure of the Californian weather has convinced me to spend at least 4 years here. Apart from BMUN, I’m heavily involved with Net Impact Berkeley, an impact-focused consulting organization that works for responsible Fortune 500 companies, startups, and nonprofits (both BMUN and Net Impact are the reasons for my curiosity in social entrepreneurship). Apart from the somewhat nerdy stuff above, I love writing. I’ve been creating new content on LinkedIn and my blog recently, and I’ll try and write something relevant about our topic before conference starts. Okay - even that was somewhat nerdy, so in my free time I love playing and watching basketball (The Lakers undeniably have a bright future ahead), I steal music off of my friend’s spotify playlists, and I’ve been into reading a lot of greek mythology-related novels rec
