Emily is currently a senior at ‘Iolani School and is ecstatic to be serving as the Director of the Historical Crisis Committee at RHSMUN 2022. When she was introduced to the Model United Nations world a couple of years ago, Emily was immediately drawn to the competitive debate, rigorous research, and realistic diplomacy that this activity has to offer. From debating Bloody Sunday at PACMUN 2019 to getting lost with her MUN team while exploring downtown Vancouver during VMUN 2020, she hopes that delegates will have similar experiences at the first iteration of RHSMUN. Outside of Model United Nations, Emily can be found leading her school’s congressional debate team and theatre program, attempting to finish her assignments for classes, and planning a significant event that she knows will not happen. Emily is confident that all delegates will enjoy the thrilling debate of RHSMUN 2022.
