Winning Best Delegate at MCGSMUN and serving as Deputy Chair (UNODC) and Committee Director (IPC) at DSMUN.

Diplomacy, Research, and Moderation

My journey in Model United Nations spans both sides of the committee dais: competing as a delegate in the International Press Committee (IPC) at MCGSMUN (where I earned the Best Delegate Award) and serving as Deputy Chair for UNODC and Committee Director at DSMUN.

Directing a committee demands neutral leadership, deep policy comprehension, and strict parliamentary procedure.

Leadership Lessons

  • Diplomatic Negotiation: Guiding delegates through tense bloc debates requires active listening and structured moderation.
  • In-Depth Research: Drafting comprehensive background guides on international drug policies and crime mandates demands rigorous academic research.
  • Clear Evaluation: Assessing delegate performances objectively based on debate quality, policy accuracy, and resolution drafting.

MUN sharpens your debate, research, and diplomatic leadership skills—qualities essential for managing tech teams and public projects.
