MUN serves an important role as not only an extra-curricular activity, but also a social environment for interested young people around the globe, making friends with people from France, Sweden, the United States and beyond. Without the opportunity to travel and debate that MUN has afforded me I would have nowhere near the public speaking confidence and ability nor the understanding of international politics I do now.

WesMUN will be my first chairing role at a conference, so I’m excited to learn on the job and guide those in the SOCHUM in fruitful debate, as well as a greater understanding and appreciation of the United Nations and international politics at large.

The SOCHUM weighs heavily on my mind, but when I can find a spare moment I try to write some dramatic work or poetry, or even venture so far as to leave the house and dabble in some photography. Don’t worry though, I’m not too cool to talk to.
