BMUN LXXI JCC

Hello! My name is Yuriko Akeyama, one of your JCC vice-chairs this year. I'm in my fourth year at UC Berkeley, studying Political Science and Economics. I have been helping host conferences with BMUN since my freshman year, but this is my first time in a crisis committee so I am super excited to learn with you all. Outside of BMUN, I'm currently planning my summer after graduation, working to save money to travel, and volunteering with a service organization on campus. In my free time, I love plugging in some EDM and wandering around new neighborhoods, reading, sewing, and dancing. Can't wait to see you all in March! 　 -- Yuriko

Hello delegates! My name is Vijay Tatavarthi (he/him) and I am currently a third year student here at UC Berkeley studying Computer Science. This is my second year doing BMUN and first time doing crisis, and last year I was a vice chair for DISEC. Outside of BMUN, I enjoy spending time playing/watching sports, lifting, and playing poker. If you are interested in any of these things or just want to learn more about my life at Berkeley in general, feel free to come talk or reach out to me! I look forward to meeting all of you soon!

Hi Delegates! Nice to meet all of you :) My name is Karissa (she/her) and I will be one of your vice chairs for JCC this year!  A bit about myself — I am a senior at UC Berkeley studying Public Health, and intend on pursuing a law degree after my undergraduate studies. This is my 6th year doing MUN and 3rd year chairing at BMUN, so I’m excited to be back! Outside of classes, I do research on mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare market. I also enjoy traveling and trying new foods in my free time. I look forward to meeting all of you at conference! - Karissa

This is my first ever experience in the Model UN world, so I'm excited to be in the space to learn alongside y'all. JCC has been putting in so much work to make this conference a great experience, so make sure to stay tuned for anything and everything BMUN! I am currently a second-year studying Political Economics with a concentration in International Development and minoring in City & Regional Planning. In regard to my academic interests, I am passionate about anti-imperialist and decolonial theory, ethical development, international affairs, urban planning, activism, and Philippine culture (+ all the intersections of these topics!). Though I still have a lot to learn in my academic journey, I hope to provide any insight on any of these topics if you're interested!  Other than BMUN, I am the Gender and Sexuality Awareness Coordina...
