hola from hitiksha :D

welcome delegates!  

I'm hitiksha bansal (she/they) and I will be your vice chair for Press Corps. I am stoked for BMUN LXXI (all caps feels like I am shouting) and to get to know each one of you a little bit! 

I am a first-year at berkeley, majoring in architecture with a double minor in city planning and sustainable design! I was a part of my high school model un team for two years which is how I got to come to BMUN as a delegate in Press. My experiences during BMUN (interacting with chairs, fellow delegates, roaming the city) all really influenced my decision to ultimately pick berkeley!

In my downtime, I try to travel as much as I possibly can (mostly exploring california), go to concerts (the 2023 concert lineup is going so strong), dance in my room (and sometimes w/the afx dance team) to my favorite artists (artic monkeys, dhruv, jeremy zucker, weeknd, sza, black pink, a.r. rahman....), swim in the overcrowded berkeley pool, take pictures, binge kdramas (nam joo hyuk <3), and paint/sketch! I also really like to bake and cook but for the last year have been estranged from my kitchenaid mixer, oven, and stove ;( 

If you just so happen to like the same things I do, feel free to message me or reach out during conference! please also do not hesitate to connect with any of the dias (we won't bite) if you have any questions. 
good luck in march, I am positive you will all bring unique and wonderful points! I am so excited to see each of you soon!



best,

 Hello Delegates!  My name is Justin Flesher and I am super excited to be one of your vice chairs this year in the press corps committee! I am a senior at UC Berkeley and I study data science and german. This is my fourth and final year in BMUN and I am super happy that I get to spend it with you all.  Outside of class and BMUN, I am an avid swimmer, soccer player, and an amateur chef (at least I'd like to think so). I also really enjoy traveling and learning new languages, currently I can speak 4 (English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese) and would love to add on a 5th! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out...see you all at conference!  Best,  Justin Flesher that's me
