SECRETARY GENERAL
Anjali Anbu
Hello, all! My name is Anjali Anbu, and I am so grateful to serve as the Secretary-General of AMUN XXIII. Model UN has been a valuable and important part of my high school experience ever since my freshman year, and I am incredibly humbled to be able to lead the conference that I have loved for so long. I’d like to extend a special thanks to all of the precious friends I have made through the BCA Model UN program, who are all working hard behind the scenes to staff and run this year’s AMUN, as well as to all of the delegates who make conferences like AMUN happen.
Good luck to everyone, and let’s get ready to open debate!
CHARGÉ D'AFFAIRES
David Wang
Hello! My name is David Wang, and I am honored to be the chargé d’affaires of AMUN XXIII. After trying Model UN for the first time at the end of eighth grade, I decided to pursue my interest in earnest. Now, I have been doing MUN for about five years, making great friends and learning new things along the way. Outside of MUN, some of my interests include math and history, and I also enjoy playing the piano. I am very excited to welcome you all to AMUN XXIII.
Stay safe, and best wishes to you all!
DIRECTOR OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS
Harnoor Sachar
Hey guys! I’m Harnoor Sachar and I am super excited to be serving as your co-director of external affairs, as well as a chair for the SPECPOL committee for AMUN XXIII. As you may be able to tell, I do a lot of public speaking at BCA! I started attending MUN conferences in my freshmen year, and along with the MUN club, I also do competitive debate. Some of my favorite topics to debate/speak about are women’s rights in the South Asian subcontinent, journalist movements in Asian countries, and minority rights in America.
I am so excited to hear you guys debate (in-person) this year!
DIRECTOR OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS
Jeslyn Zhang
Hi, delegates! My name is Jeslyn Zhang and I am so excited to serve as your co-director of external affairs for AMUN XXIII. Since joining the team my freshman year, Model UN has quickly become one of my favorite parts about BCA. This immersive world of diplomacy and debate, collaboration and problem-solving truly holds a special place in my heart, and I am forever grateful for the experiences shared and friends made along the way. Outside of MUN, I enjoy playing the violin, spending time in the cell biology lab, and binging my favorite shows on Netflix.
I wish you all the best of luck in committee, and I can’t wait to see you at AMUN XXIII!
DIRECTOR OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS
Maya Schonberg
Hi delegates! My name is Maya Schonberg and I can’t wait to serve as both a Co-Director of Internal Affairs and the Crisis Director for the Ad-Hoc Committee at AMUN this year! Model UN at BCA has been an important part of my life since the very beginning of freshman year so it is a bit of a bittersweet experience to be taking on this new and final role in our community. I’ve met and become closer with so many incredible people thanks to MUN and it’s helped me grow as a person in other areas of my life as well. Outside of MUN, I do rock climbing, play the guitar and watch anime. I’ve made so many amazing memories thanks to MUN and I hope that I can help you guys make some too!
Good luck and cause some chaos >:)
DIRECTOR OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS
Rochelle Xavier
Hello delegates! My name is Rochelle Xavier and I’m so excited to serve as one of your co-directors of internal affairs for AMUN XXIII. I’ve been a part of BCA’s Model UN team since my freshman year and it has truly shown me the value of community. This team has allowed me to make some of my closest friends and meet people from so many different backgrounds. I am truly grateful for loving memories and incredible experiences I’ve had and I hope that AMUN brings the same to you! Outside of MUN I am an avid comic book collector, player of the drums, and spend way too much time analyzing my favorite childhood cartoons. I hope the committees this year allow for you to have fruitful discussions and engaging debates as beginners or seasoned delegates.
Stay safe and best of luck delegates!
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Grace Chu
What’s up, delegates! My name is Grace Chu and it is my privilege to serve as AMUN XXIII’s co-director of operations. Since joining BCA’s Model UN travel team my freshman year, I have been enamored with the art of diplomacy since. Truly, there really is no greater thrill than getting caught in the motley throng of committee, collaborating, compromising, and ultimately, collectively succeeding in this battle of the minds. In my spare time I love watching movies and TV shows as well as playing the ukulele.
I look forward to meeting you all and I wish you the best of luck!

Hello! My name is Saskia Trommelen, and I am a senior in the Academy for the Advancement of Science and Tech. I am more than excited to be your director of technology of AMUN XXIII. I first joined Model UN at the end of my freshman year, but I honestly have enjoyed helping be a part of the BCA conferences more than anything else. In my free time I do marching band, cross country, musicals, yearbook, and more. It is nice to be able to get involved with something a little bigger than yourself, so I hope you are just as excited to be a delegate this year!
