Anushka Jain is a grade 12 student at DPS-MIS, Doha, Qatar. She will be serving as the Conference Coordinator for QLC 2020. She attended her first MUN in grade 9, and since then, she has been an active participant in over five MUN conferences, both as Delegate, Chair and Executive. Some of her accolades include prestigious awards such as ‘Best Delegate’ in DCMUN, Doha and ‘Honorable Mention’ in GCIHSMUN, New York as a testimony of her passion for MUN. She is inspired with the life of famous US President Abraham Lincoln as he fought against some of the most pressing crimes such as slavery. She learnt that in order to solve an issue, one should try to visualize it from the eyes of the person suffering. This instilled the learning in her to become more sympathetic and caring towards those less fortunate.

Being a regular tennis and badminton player, she has participated and won many inter-school tennis tournaments. She has grown as an active public speaker and performed at various forums in her school. She is also the President of the Student Council of her school. She has an overt interest in science, particularly in biology and received ‘All Rounder’ award for her academic as well as extra-curricular excellence in grade 10.

Her dream is to become a medical doctor and surgeon to fulfill her aim of serving the underprivileged living without medical assistance. She expresses her gratitude for MUN for teaching her diplomacy, patience, critical thinking and a motive to do more for the society than for herself. She firmly believes that MUN is a platform where delegates can learn to give back to the society. MUN has also helped her to become selfless as she always follows her school’s motto – ‘Service before self’. Dedication and self-confidence are some of qualities she discovered through MUN and she always encourages other students to take part in MUN.

She believes that QLC online 2020 would prove to be a great platform for presenters to shine and participants to learn. She hopes for QLC to encourage participants to learn a valuable piece of knowledge that they can carry forward.
