Hannah (she/her/hers) is a junior at UC Berkeley majoring in English with a minor in Politics, Philosophy, and Law. Hannah is originally from Long Beach, California, where she enjoys frolicking on the Southern California beaches or driving down Pacific Coast Highway. Despite being from sunny Southern California, she has a special love for the vibrance, beauty, and nature Berkeley and the FANTABULOUS Bay Area provides. She joined UCBMUN in her freshman year to expand her interests in policy and debate. Since then, Hannah has grown a special loved dedicated to learning about collegiate MUN through her time staffing UCBMUN as an ACD and a COS Internal in the past two UCBMUNs! In her free time, you can find Hannah listening to music, remixing songs that probably shouldn’t be mixed together, making a #hopecore edit, or reading Kafka. Hannah is super proud of the outstanding work her wonderful co-lead, Katie, and the awesome Secretariat have put into the conference! They all can't wait to see what UCBMUN XXXI has in store for all you amazing delegates!

Katie Tran (she/her/hers) is a Senior from Orange County, California, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Education. She joined UCBMUN to have an excuse to dress up in WBA often, but stayed for the lovely people, circuit-wide amazing experiences, and the energy rush within the committee. Outside of UCBMUN, you'll spot Katie on campus with an iced matcha latte in her hand. You'll spot Katie off campus with the same. You'll probably spot Katie with an iced matcha latte in hand around UCBMUN XXXI as well. In her free time, Katie circles through her dozens of arts and crafts hobbies, enjoys shopping and especially thrifting, watching slice of life anime, and also plays video games! You probably won't see her on Genshin Impact during UCBMUN XXXI's lunchtime because she's busy as your Director General. Katie is extremely excited to be a part your UCBMUN XXXI!!

Alison (she/her) is a sophomore from San Jose majoring in English and Economics. She joined UCBMUN in the fall of 2025 after seeing the travel map but stays for the lovely community she's found! What Alison enjoys most about MUN is the opportunities for creativity and humor it creates. Outside of MUN, you will find Alison with a camera taking photos, lying in the sun with a book and wandering about the restaurants of the Bay. She is thrilled to staff UCBMUN XXXI and hope all the delegates enjoy the experience as much as secretariat has putting it together!

Ethan Croutch is a rising senior from Los Angeles, California, majoring in Political Science with a focus in comparative politics and international relations. He joined UCBMUN on a whim based on his love of improv, but quickly found that crisis committees mostly involve solving problems that would cause any diplomat to resign immediately. Beyond acting out brainrot arcs during conference, Ethan can typically be found at his improv4charity club, at the gym with friends, conducting research, or just staying home playing video games with his younger brother. In his free time, Ethan works and travels across the country and sometimes the world to visit airshows, hangars, or even purchase and restore an aircraft or two… or five. Ethan is extremely excited to staff UCBMUN XXXI as your Chief of Staff, Internal, and if something should happen, remember: I’d cross any bloc to talk to you ??!

Brian (he/him) is a second-year student studying history and is originally from Buena Park, California. Despite not having a clue about what MUN was before he joined UCBMUN, he fell in love with the amazing culture and people that makes MUN so amazing. In his free time, he enjoys to read and write, especially topics related to association football and sports management, along with watching a variety of Korean movies and dramas. He looks forward to making great memories and serving as your Chief of Staff, External!

Jay is a second-year at UC Berkeley studying Data Science and Economics, and is originally from New Jersey where he enjoys hiking and going on sidequests. He didn't do MUN in high school and was instead a mock trial kid (bouse!). While Jay loves the opportunity to travel across North America, he is most appreciative for the community he has found <3. In his free time, Jay is probably watching a true crime documentary, going on endless walks, or trying the endless matcha spots in Berkeley. Jay is PUMPED to be your USG of General Assembly and is excited for a fun UCBMUN XXXI

Genevieve (she/her), who normally goes by Eve, is a senior at UC Berkeley double majoring in political science and psychology. She is originally from Arcata, California, a coastal town about 6 hours north of the Bay, and has loved the energy, creativity, and beauty of Berkeley - and its proximity to concert venues! She joined UCBMUN her sophomore year because she had enjoyed debate in high school and wanted to connect with more people interested in international relations, and found a wonderful community both within Berkeley and across the circuit. In her free time, Eve loves searching for hidden nature spots on campus, listening to music (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fontaines D.C., Kendrick Lamar, Fleetwood Mac, Noah Kahan, Taylor Swift, La Femme, Pink Pantheress), cooking with her roommates, reading about pretty much anything, and hanging out with her blind cat. Eve is so excited to serve as your USG, and cannot wait to see what you do in UCBMUN XXXI !

Zach is a second-year student studying Political Science at Berkeley. Zach joined UCBMUN in the spring of his freshman year and hasn’t stopped obsessing about it since. He is from the San Gabriel Valley and is a staunch lover of Southern California though he will admit the bay isn’t too bad either. He joined MUN in order to travel and compete with people from all over the country, but ended up giving every waking hour to this club because everyone is just the absolute coolest. He can mostly be found scrolling reels (he just discovered autoscrolling and it has destroyed his life) or yapping about all the odd things he’s interested in from grubbing to hockey and baseball. Other than that he’s probably binging the office for the 18th this year or scrolling DoorDash wishing he had the funds for all that. Zach cannot wait to see what every delegate will bring to the table this spring at UCBMUN XXXI and can’t wait to meet everyone!

Kamryn (she/her/hers) is a second-year student at UC Berkeley majoring in Political Science. Originally from Huntington Beach, CA, she enjoys spending time at the beach with her family/friends and driving down Pacific Coast Highway while blasting music. Throughout high school, she participated in Model United Nations for four years, where she found her love for public speaking and debate (or just because she loves dressing up in WBA). She joined UCBMUN in her Freshman spring, hoping to continue developing both her social and public speaking skills. As someone who loves to meet new people and make new friends, she believes MUN is the perfect outlet for that. In her free time, you can find Kamryn in a pilates or yoga class (Corepower warrior), shopping, doing karaoke in her room, going on side quests with her friends, or playing video games! She is beyond honored and thrilled to serve as your USG of Crisis and cannot wait to see what the delegates bring to the table.

Dean is a third-year student at UC Berkeley majoring in Rhetoric. Always interested in debate and competition, Dean found Berkeley’s MUN team and joined as a third-year. He loves the community MUN fosters, and the excitement of steering a Crisis Committee with others.

He expresses it is his pleasure and honor to serve as UCBMUN’s Director of Business!
