The Secretariat of LIMUN HS Edition V is made up of students from the University of London, particularly UCL, KCL, LSE, and SOAS. LIMUN HS, like the University Conference, is one of kind as it is associated with the LIMUN Foundation (a UK Registered Charity) as opposed to being run only by one university or school. As such LIMUN HS Edition V has a unique diversity of students serving as the Secretariat Members.
Nudhara is a Philosophy, Politics, and Economics student at UCL. With an avid interest in the skills-based development of young people, she serves on the education and training team at the World Federation of United Nations Association (WFUNA), as well as working on youth outreach with the United Nations 75th Anniversary Campaign. Nudhara started her MUN journey in year 8 and claims it may be the primary reason for her making the switch from pure science A levels to a social science-based degree. She now hopes to work with the Secretariat to curate that same spark for Model UN in LIMUN:HS delegates. If you can find her when she isn't making color-coded excel sheets, to-do lists, or drinking tea, it's likely you'll see this proud food lover nose deep in a tub of Ben and Jerry's!

Adam is a third-year International Relations and History student at SOAS as well as the current USG Applications for LIMUN: HS. Despite growing up in rural South of Poland, Adam quickly started to actively participate in the Polish Model United Nations circuit, attending many conferences as a delegate, chair, or member of the Secretariat. If it were not for the tremendously positive experience gained through debating and interacting with others during MUN conferences, he believes his life, both professional and personal, would be significantly less satisfying. Adam aims to include his academic interests in global governance, international education, and identity politics in order to deliver the most iconic debating conference ever. In his free time, Adam enjoys sharing his strong options on the most random topics such as but not limited to pasteis de nata and Zen gardens as well as attending the most bizarre exhibitions at the V&A.
Raed is 2nd-year student, studying Economics at UCL. Originally from Pakistan, he's been involved in Model UN for the last 3 years. His MUN journey started when he joined his A level's MUN team. Since then, he's attended 10 different MUN conferences in countries like the U.K., USA, and Pakistan. His passion for MUN lies mainly in the public speaking aspect and the fact that it gives delegates an excuse to wear suits. Raed's interest in finance stems from his degree content, and his desire to enter the world of banking. AS USG for Finance, his main role is to keep track of LIMUN: HS's cash flows, create the budget for the conference and reach out to sponsors & partners. Having attended the LIMUN 2020 University Conference, Raed looks forward to taking part in conducting a similar high-quality conference in 2021. For him, Model UN taught him how to get out of his comfort zone, and instilled an unwavering sense of confidence within him. It’s taught him multiple life skills such as time management, negotiating, and uniting people over a common cause. Through LIMUN HS, he looks forward to instilling similar qualities amongst the best and the brightest! Outside of MUN, he has two main hobbies - playing the guitar and helping people get into university. The first activity allows him to be creative and calms him down, while the latter allows him to give back to society! Fun fact about him: he has fallen asleep in committee sessions way too many times.
