MEET THE
SECRETARIAT

Parliamentarian: Hannah Fu

Welcome to HSINMUN XX! I am Hannah Fu, a current senior at International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park, and I am honored to serve as your Parliamentarian for HSINMUN this year. Since I was introduced to Model United Nations, I have been inspired to explore new areas as well as remain aware of current issues. At first, I only focused on a few committees, but later I quickly expanded and found all of them equally important. What I really love about MUN is that it is a great way to communicate, connect, and cooperate with other delegates in different schools, which is an unique and valuable experience for me. No matter how experienced you are as an MUNer, treasure your time and don’t be afraid to try new things and meet new people. Please utilize your time effectively at HSINMUN to connect, socialize, collaborate, negotiate, and debate as I believe it will be greatly beneficial for you and the people around you. I, along with the rest of the Secretariat team, wholeheartedly welcome you to HSINMUN XX!

Secretary General: Shannon Yen

Hello everyone, and welcome to HSINMUN XX! I am Shannon Yen, a senior at the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park, and it is my utmost honor to serve as your Secretary General for HSINMUN this year. MUN’s always been one of my favorite activities, because of the deep discussion regarding current events, the thrill of public speaking, and the diplomacy, negotiating, and discussion that is part of it. It is absolutely wonderful to be here at HSINMUN XX, where my MUN journey began, and I dearly hope that delegates this year can utilize HSINMUN XX as an opportunity for speaking out, both through expressing their views as a delegate of a real-life country and for broadening their understanding of their real world. I look forward to seeing everyone in October, and please do have fun, enjoy, and look forward to HSINMUN XX!

Deputy Secretary General: Yichia Lee

Hey there, MUNderful Minds; welcome to HSINMUN XX! Let’s get ready to dive into some diplomatic brilliance together this weekend. My name is Yichia Lee, and I am a current senior at the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park. I am honored to serve as Deputy Secretary for HSINMUN this year. Someone once told me if you don’t at least make an attempt, you won’t ever know. In MUN, you learn from experience and attempt things you have only ever tried in the confines of your own mind or room. You speak out so others can hear your voice, you make changes, and you set precedents within your own small Model United Nations community. You thrive in a vast pool of outspoken, creative delegates guided by the head of your committee and your own values and opinions. This is the exact environment you join the moment you step into the diverse MUN community here at HSINMUN. I am incredibly thrilled to be sharing this eye-opening experience with you all. No matter how wayward this conference may go, I look forward to seeing you all flourish and grow in, perhaps, a new or even a familiar atmosphere. Thank you for attending HSINMUN and trying your very best to make a change. Speak boldly, frankly, and openly because whatever you choose to do makes a difference for everyone else.

Deputy Secretary General: Heidi Yeh

Hello everyone! I am Heidi Yeh, a current senior at the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park and it is my pleasure to serve as a Deputy Secretary General for HSINMUN XX. I started my MUN journey just a few years ago at a HSINMUN conference. Besides the delectable food and riveting and intense debates, I was also inspired by the calm and cool collectedness of negotiations during unmoderated caucuses and lobbying. As many of us from all over the country have taken great pains to congregate in one area to discuss global issues of great significance, I encourage all participants to take advantage of this opportunity and give it your all. Of course, while the Working Team carries the brunt of running the conference, it is also up to you to ensure that we cultivate a welcoming environment for meaningful and memorable diplomacy and education. Whether you’re new or experienced, meet new people, listen to different perspectives, and muster the courage to step out of your comfort zone. I can’t wait to see what HSINMUN XX has in store for every participant! See you all in October!

Deputy Secretary General: Zoe Wan

Welcome to HSINMUN XX! I am Zoe Wan, a current junior at the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park, and it is my utmost honor to be serving as your Deputy Secretary General for this year’s conference. My MUN journey started as an admin here at HSINMUN, and as the fateful weekend progressed, I became increasingly awed by the passionate delegates making speeches and drafting amendments, fascinated by the nuances of a conference. Even with my introverted personality, I found MUN an enjoyable and educational activity as my public speaking and social skills improved as I attended more conferences, eventually becoming an integral part of my school life. No matter how familiar you are with Model UN, I hope you will find this conference fulfilling and interesting, and I encourage everyone to do your best in your role while, of course, having lots of fun. I can’t wait to see you all in October!

Deputy Secretary General: Pratyush Gopalsamy

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to boost your adrenaline as we welcome you to HSINMUN XX! I am Pratyush, a sophomore at the International Bilingual School of Hsinchu Science Park, and it is my utmost honour to serve as your Deputy Secretary General for HSINMUN XX. As I embarked on my MUN journey, I was impressed at how delegates were able to assume the role of various world leaders and representatives to engage in fruitful diplomatic discussions and conflict resolution. It was fascinating how delegates were able to approach and creatively develop solutions to ongoing conflicts and issues – being able to advocate for their country’s stance, articulate their thoughts, and navigate the format all together. I hope that delegates will utilise this year’s conference to engage in productive debate and ensure that the collective effort of the committee creates a satisfactory resolution to the issues-at-hand. Importantly, regardless of how scared or inexperienced you may be, I look forward to all delegates being able to develop and incorporate diplomacy, innovation, and collaboration as you address global challenges. Ultimately, your journey at HSINMUN XX is not just about debates and resolutions, it’s about shaping a better world, so let’s shape the future together, one resolution at a time. That being said, I extend a heartfelt invitation, and wholeheartedly welcome you to HSINMUN XX!
