At Columbia Model United Nations Conference, I was assigned the committee of "Forrest Fenn's Treasure Hunt." Although it may have been obscure in a crisis committee literally focused on hunting for hidden treasure, fierce debates over Indigenous people's rights and the environment took over the mock discourse. With identities hidden, there was much crisis and debate ultimately leading up to a found treasure. The position paper for CMUNCE is attached.
I was awarded verbal commendation for my work.
While attending the Ivy League Model United Nations Conference during my sophomore year of highschool, I was able to debate and discuss pertinent issues regarding politics and decolonization. With possible topics pertaining to Libya or Venezuela, the more timely topic of Venezuela was selected and debates began about the future of the nation, the rightful president of the country, and ways to give citizens aid (which their government denied them). Being a single participant in a room full of pairs or delegates, I was able to participate in discussion while also expanding my world knowledge, making friends with teens from across the world (and having riveting discussion with them about Brazilian politics and how their political sphere compares to that of the United States).
Attached is a position paper from the conference and a reflection of the experience.
The attached file is a resolution paper from a Temple University Model UN Conference, I attended my Sophomore year. While on the DISEC committee, a branch that deals with nuclear disarmament, my fellow delegate and I (the Netherlands) were able to craft a draft resolution, and lead a pact that led to all the nuclear countries disarming in the "near" future.
I was designated Outstanding Delegate at this Conference

Club President
Junior year of highschool, I attended the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia's Mock Senate Committee of Foreign relations. In this conference, I interviewed and went through an application process to receive one of the top positions, that of a Senator. As Senator Ted Cruz, I navigated the rough political sphere regarding the ongoing political crisis in Iran and took on the unforeseen role of Committee chair after a delegate was sick. With bipartisan support of a plan to protect American values, Model Senate was able to pass the Watchdog Plan (attached). This role did not come without prep work, however. Thinking of almost 50 witness questions (attached) and researching experts was much work, yet became incredibly rewarding with fantastic discourse regarding Iranian and American politics.
At the 2019 Global Economic Forum on the future of work, I was tasked with leading a team of delegates and figuring out the future of social development (while being one of the world's highest populated countries: India). Through cooperation with other nations, my track was able to navigate through tough international politics and economics to determine the role of social development in future work.
I was awarded Outstanding Student leader for my work.
