Matteo is a first year BSc History and Politics student at LSE. Born and raised in Italy, Matteo developed an interest in geopolitics and in international affairs, with a focus on the EU. His MUN journey started in 2021 as part of Team MUN-ITALIA. Since then, he has competed and chaired in several conferences around the world ranging from Rome to New York. This year, he is part of the EU Council chairing team and hopes the committee will be both a welcoming and challenging environment for all delegates. Outside of MUN, Matteo is a committed Red Cross volunteer and a member of the European Solidarity Corps. He is also a chef in becoming who is working hard to keep up with his country’s cooking standards. When he does not fail to do so (which is rare), he loves to invite his friends to dinner parties where pasta and wine are never missing.

Maël is a first year Masters student studying Contemporary European Studies at the University of Bath. He is 22 and originally from Brussels even though his parents are German and Welsh. Maël is a bit of a late bloomer when it comes to MUN. He was asked to help out as Welfare officer at the KentMUN society (he did his BA at the University of Kent) in his 3rd and since then has done MUN continuously. He has been a delegate in a number of conferences including international ones and has now taken on a more frequent chairing role, having chaired conferences such as KentMUN or LIMUN.

My name is Victoria Rebok. I am a third-year International Relations student at LSE and this will be my third year doing MUN. I first got involved in MUN in my first year of university, but became heavily involved in the LSESU UN Society during my second year. During that time, I was both Marketing Director and Diplomacy Ball Officer for the society, as well as an engaged delegate. I delegated at conferences such as LIMUN and WorldMUN, and this year I started my chairing journey at ULMUN 2023. I am currently a Training Officer for the LSESU UN Society. I’m from Argentina, although I’ve lived abroad most of my life. My main interests involve strength training at the gym and reading. I also have a strong interest in languages, and am currently learning Arabic and French. Aside from that, I love travelling and am constantly looking for travel recommendations and places to stay. I look forward to meeting you all!

Ruth Chloe Mahamoodally is a year 12 student at London Academy of Excellence Tottenham, where she is studying History, Politics, Mathematics and Economics. She is an aspiring PPE student, in which her interests surround global politics and economics, and how it links to philosophical thoughts. She is originally from Mauritius but her journey of education is located in England. Ruth is relatively new to the world of MUN but has grown a keen interest in MUN having been a part of her school’s official MUN club, and attending a mock COP 28 conference, where her passion for delegating has come from. Her main external interests involve reading, travelling to discover different countries and cultures and also playing music, as well as listening to it. She is looking forward to being a part of the assistant chair programme, as it will be an exciting new opportunity for her.
