From the halls of Little Flower Academy, Juri’s Model UN journey has crossed countless horizons, ultimately leading her to where the bustling city meets the majestic mountains for NVMUN 2026. What began as a curious tenth-grade spark has since grown into a lifetime of 5:00 a.m. research binders, brilliant committee resolutions, and unforgettable late-night laughter. As Secretary General, she is absolutely thrilled to welcome delegates across the water to North Vancouver, where international diplomacy rises beautifully against a sweeping backdrop of coastal peaks. When she isn’t buried deep in clauses and resolutions, you can usually find her humming along to moody keshi songs, eating fried chicken, or staging Grammy-worthy singing performances in the shower. Juri is ready to watch nervous first-timers find their true north and step out as confident speakers, ideally keeping her own balance on the stairs along the way.

Honoured to serve as NVMUN’s Director-General, Joshua is keen to contribute to the rich tapestry of anecdotes and the vibrant legacy created throughout his tenure. Since embarking on the vivacious journey of Model United Nations, he has learned to embrace its innerly competitive yet collaborative spirit. Beyond the thrill of urgently drafting up draft resolutions and negotiations, it is the profound sense of camaraderie that has modelled this passion. Joshua especially values the late nights and early mornings of discussion, debate, and problem-solving. Outside of the committee room, Joshua can be found playing soccer and ultimate frisbee, gazing upward in search of a glimpse of the stars, and spending time with friends—often attempting to persuade them to eat at Chipotle. Positioned against the dramatic backdrop of the North Shore, Joshua has frequently observed the mountainous landscape yield to the ambient twilight… yet in the boundless space beyond, an even greater horizon of potential awaits.

As a Grade 10 student at Rockridge Secondary, Nima is extremely excited to serve as the Under-Secretary-General of Committees for NVMUN 2026. After discovering Model UN, he quickly fell victim to the classic pipeline of “I’ll just attend one conference” to writing a position paper at 2 a.m. for his 17th conference of the year. Since then, he has developed a love for diplomacy and beautiful chaos that occurs. Outside of committee, Nima can usually be found doing something involving neuroscience, programming, debate, music, or an unnecessarily ambitious new project. He is particularly excited to work with this year’s directors to create committees that are challenging, engaging, and memorable, while ensuring delegates have the best possible experience. He looks forward to seeing suspiciously long directives and increasingly unhinged crisis arcs. Nima wishes all delegates good luck, stay hydrated, and remember: the secretariat are always watching.

Currently a junior at Vancouver College, Adrian is pleased to be serving as the USG of Delegate Affairs at NVMUN 2026. His introduction to Model UN began several years ago, and since then, he has found himself drawn to the pace, atmosphere, and people that make each conference distinct. From navigating the intensity of moderated caucuses to watching ideas take shape through collaboration, Adrian has come to appreciate the many sides of the conference experience. More than anything, he values the conversations, friendships, and moments that happen between committee sessions. Outside of MUN, Adrian can usually be found annoying his Bichon Frisé, Snow. He looks forward to welcoming delegates to NVMUN 2026 and making the conference an experience worth remembering.

As a junior at York House School, Claire is looking forward to serving as the USG of Media for the second iteration of North Vancouver Model United Nations. With her first introduction to the Model UN space taking place during her freshman year, Claire has grown to love the passionate nature that it has to offer. Through Model UN, she has grown more confident in finding her voice and developed a strong appreciation for diplomacy, public speaking, and the power of thoughtful debate. Away from the committee room, Claire can be found jogging around town, catching up on reading the next bestseller, or checking out new restaurants across Vancouver. From newcomers to experienced delegates, Claire is excited to help make NVMUN 2026 an unforgettable conference for all!

As a junior at St. John’s School, Andy is ecstatic to serve as the Director of Logistics. He began his MUN journey on a whim three years ago and was rapidly captivated by the professional diplomacy, strategic negotiation, and collaborative environment this activity offers. Every MUN conference is a challenge that has allowed him to develop as a leader, strengthen his communication skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the current global situation. As a delegate, he overcame his fear of public speaking and built enduring connections with other participants. Outside the conference room, he enjoys creative writing, playing video games, and consuming copious amounts of food. Andy looks forward to the second iteration of NVMUN and knows that it will truly be an unforgettable experience for everyone

Entering her junior year at Southpointe Academy, Keira is honoured to serve as USG of Marketing and Outreach at NVMUN 2026. From intellectually stimulating debate to intense rap battles, Keira’s experience participating in MUN has been nothing short of chaotic. After having multiple years of experience under her belt, she has developed an appreciation for energy drinks and consistent Starbucks runs to fuel her passion for this sport. She hopes that all attendees will inevitably grow their confidence in discussing complex foreign issues, whether it is their first time speaking up or their last. When Keira is not obsessing over design aesthetics, she can be spotted playing soccer or researching the latest biological innovations. Ahead of the next iteration of NVMUN, Keira desires to create a welcoming atmosphere for every delegate to enjoy.

Currently a Grade 11 student at Vancouver College, Max is honoured to serve as the Under-Secretary General of IT at NVMUN 2026. Since starting his MUN career four years ago, Max has been fascinated by the fast-paced diplomacy and complex engagements MUN has to offer, from meeting and collaborating with new delegates to developing an ability to wake up for an 8 AM crisis committee session. Outside of MUN, Max can be found researching historical rabbit holes, flipping computers on Facebook Marketplace, occasionally practicing his musical abilities, and watching the second installment of the Cars franchise. Max looks forward to a great weekend of debate and wishes the best of luck to all delegates at this iteration of NVMUN.
