SECRETARY-GENERAL
Aminah Sarowar
Hi! I’m Aminah Sarowar and I am honored to serve as the Secretary-General for AMUN XXIV. Ever since I joined MUN in my freshman year, I have been captivated by all aspects of the activity; from developing intricate solutions to urgent real-world problems, to sharing speeches advocating for the passing of one’s paper. Through this system of debate and presentation, I have gained tremendous skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Outside of MUN, I enjoy drawing, listening to music (give me recommendations!), and watching sitcoms.
Delegates, I'm ecstatic to see you all debate this February! Best of luck!
CHARGÉ D'AFFAIRES
Zerlina Huang
Hi delegates, my name is Zerlina, and I’m so excited to be your Chargé de Affairs for AMUN XXIV! Model United Nations has been such an important part of my life since freshman year. It’s given me amazing experiences, skills, and friends that I couldn’t have gotten anywhere else and I hope that through this year’s AMUN, you gain even a fraction of what I have. Outside of MUN, I play on the tennis team, enjoy reading, and watch (a lot of) TV and movies.
I’d like to wish each and every one of you good luck and a happy and productive AMUN!!
