Also passionate about nonprofit work, educational equity, and marketing, she lobbies for student rights via one-on-one casework and policy projects in Berkeley’s Student Advocate’s Office and serves on the marketing team for the Berkeley Economic Review. In her free time, she enjoys baking, trying new coffee shops with friends, watching mystery movies, and obsessing over Taylor Swift. She is so excited to help create an amazing conference experience for delegates at UCBMUN XXVIII!

Minyoung Kim
Chief of Staff, InternalMinyoung (he/him/his) is a sophomore from Southern California, majoring in political science. He joined UCBMUN in the Spring semester of his freshmen year to build upon his interests of international affairs and government - something he has come to realize makes up the more rewarding half of MUN. In his first year staffing, he plans to provide delegates with a conference they could be proud to compete in. Outside of UCBMUN he is involved within Phi Alpha Delta, UC Berkeley's premier pre-law fraternity, the ASUC judicial council, and the CSO program under UCPD. In his downtime he can be found discussing shows, movies, or why the Lakers will definitively win it all the next season. Minyoung looks forward to meeting delegates at what will be an exciting conference.

Chief of Staff, ExternalGargee (she/her/hers) is a sophomore at UC Berkeley from San Ramon, California studying Computer Science, Data Science, and Business Administration.

Outside of UCBMUN, you can find Gargee watching Jeopardy!, running, and searching for the best cold brew around campus. Alongside the rest of secretariat, Gargee looks forward to helping organize a successful conference. Feel free to contact her at gargee@berkeley.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

In her free time, Shahbano can be found playing football on the glade, trying all the different flavors at Salt and Straw and searching for new gnocchi places in San Francisco (she truly seems to have an unhealthy obsession). Shahbano is extremely excited to see what delegates have in store for UCBMUN XXVIII, and hopes that everyone has as great a time participating as we did planning it!

Outside of MUN, he teaches a class on the history of rock music, volunteers at the computing facility, races on the ski team, and climbs in the Berkeley hills. Teeron hopes every delegate has an enjoyable experience while at UCBMUN, both in and outside of committee.
