Hi my name is Alessandra Harkness but you can call me Ali. I’m going to be the director on UNHRC this year. I’ve done debate and model un for a couple years now and am super excited to share my experiences with you and I am really looking forward to getting to know all of you.

Nathan Chan – Assistant Director

A grade eleven student from West Point Grey Academy, Nathan has participated actively in MUN for over four years, attending conferences ranging from VYMUN to SSUNS to HMCE. Part of the reason for Nathan’s passion in MUN is the fact that it allows individual delegates to debate world issues that, in turn, help them become more knowledgeable global citizens. Aside from MUN, Nathan also enjoys reading fiction, gaming, and biking, and, in the future, Nathan hopes to become a neurologist specializing in behavioral cognition and sub-specializing in pediatrics.
