  Hi everyone!  My name is Tess U-Vongcharoen and I am excited to serve as one of your vice chairs for UN Habitat. This is my second year in BMUN, but I'm entering my eighth year in MUN. I attended BMUN as a high school student and it was one of my favorite conferences.  I am a second-year majoring in Data Science. Outside of BMUN, I work on social good consulting projects through Data Science Society and edit articles for a food magazine, Spoon University. I enjoy exploring new restaurants, swimming, and binge-watching Disney and Marvel movies.  I hope you will learn a lot at conference, while also having a memorable and fun experience. I'm excited to meet you all!

Hi! My name is Amy Zhang, and I'll be serving as one of your chairs for UN Habitat this year at BMUN. This will be my first time chairing at BMUN, so I'm very excited to get to know all of you and listen to your discussions in the committee. I am a freshman at Berkeley intending to study public health with an interest in epidemiology, and adolescent mental health. Outside of BMUN, I'm also an interpreter for Cal VHIO, an organization that aims to improve access to healthcare for populations with limited English proficiency in the Bay Area. I also enjoy taking walks, watching movies and cooking videos, and exploring new restaurants around me.   I look forward to meeting you all soon! Amy

Hey! I'm Jenny Zhang and I'm going to be one of your vice chairs for UN Habitat. I'm so excited to be a part of this committee and can't wait to hear and read all of your discussions on our two amazing topics.  I'm a junior majoring in Public Health and Molecular & Cell Biology with an emphasis in Immunology. I've been a part of BMUN since my freshman year and I'm so excited for this year's conference. Outside of BMUN, I'm also involved in Immunology research on campus and I'm a part of the Kidney Disease Awareness and Screening Program, an organization that focuses on working with underrepresented communities in the Bay Area and sets up free local screenings for kidney disease. In my free time, I like to hang out with friends, find new music on Spotify, watch Kdramas, and smell perfumes. I can't wait to see you all at our conference!

Hi everyone! My name is Jocelyn Gao, and I am so excited to be your head chair for UN Habitat at BMUN LXX this year! This is my second year in BMUN as a secretariat member and my sixth year doing MUN overall (I attended BMUN as a delegate all four years of high school!), so MUN has played a pretty important role in my life. I remember what it's like to be in your shoes right now, so I'm hoping to make committee fun and memorable for you all.  A bit about me: I am a second-year majoring in Business Administration and Political Economy (with a potential minor in Data Science). I'm from San Ramon, CA and have lived in the Bay Area my whole life, so I'm decently familiar with good restaurants, cafes, and hangout spots – feel free to ask me for recommendations. Outside of BMUN, I'm a part of the Berkeley Forum, a club that hosts speaker events on campus, and Spoon University at Berkeley, a magazine about food. Some of my hobbies include making matcha lattes, creating Spo...
