Introductory Message: Hi everyone! My name is Thea Guliani, and I’m thrilled to be your Deputy Chair in ASEAN! I’m currently a Grade 12 student at UWC Dover, and have been involved in MUN since Grade 7. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of delegating and chairing over 9 conferences, ranging from the UNHRC to the US Senate. MUN has shaped the way I view global issues, teaching me to approach debate with empathy and a commitment to collaboration. hope to create a space where every delegate feels willing and excited to contribute and challenge themselves, and I look forward to meeting you all at this MUN conference.
