FCMUN Secretariat

Evelyn is a senior Geography and Politics student at Mount Holyoke College, with an interest in Urban Planning. She has been involved in Model UN on campus since first year, and has participated as a delegate to CIAC, CMUNNY and CHOMUN. She was the Director of Publicity for FCMUN XIV, and the Director General for FCMUN XV. She is originally from Bradford, Vermont, which boasts the only stoplight in Vermont’s Orange county.

 

Outside of Model UN, Evelyn works as an Residential Fellow, planning fun events and creating a welcoming community on campus. During her free time, she can be found birdwatching, playing the New York Times games, drinking Earl Grey tea, and knitting. Her ideal weekend morning looks like relaxing at the Thirsty Mind while reading a good book and drinking an apple chai. 

 

She is very excited to be carrying on the legacy of FCMUN along with the rest of the Secretariat, and looks forward to greeting delegates from other schools! She is grateful to be following the lead and legacy of Tatum Spriester and Zoey Pickett, the Secretary-Generals of FCMUN XIV and XV. If you have any questions about the conference, please feel free to reach out to flemi25e@mtholyoke.edu.

Pragya is a sophomore at Mount Holyoke College, majoring in International Relations and Economics. Building on her experience as Director of Logistics last year, she's thrilled to step into the role of USG for FCMUN XVI, where she can further contribute to the conference's legacy. With six years of Model UN experience under her belt, Pragya has developed strong skills in participation, chairing, and conference planning in spaces varying from an Indian high school to now here at MHC. 

​

Besides FCMUN, she is really involved in her school’s International Student Organisation Committee (ISOC) under the Student Government (SGA). Like Zoey, she’s going around campus giving the tour to prospective students sometimes as an Admissions Ambassador, and works as the Museum Visitor Experience Assistant at other times. Pragya’s also very often at fencing practice (a Foilist, if you were curious). She can also be spotted at many cultural fests and orgs, particularly the South Asian ones!

​

She has big shoes to fill with the wonderful work of her previous USGs, including the current Director-General, but she has the wonderful support of her previous Secretary General (Zoey) to help her figure it out. Pragya’s very excited to work with everyone this year! You can always find her at bahl222p@mtholyoke.edu with any questions or concerns.

Romanea Kimhor is a freshman at Mount Holyoke College from Cambodia. She's done MUN since the start of ninth grade where I was fresh out of therapy and wanted something stimulating to do. She started as a photographer and made her way up as a delegate to chairing and eventually organizing committee and had held conferences back in highschool. She's planning to double major in molecular and cellular biology and international relations. She's deeply interested in the intersection of diplomacy in the international level as well as genetic research (she can’t decide and so she went for both). Furthermore, she's a part of the A-board committee in SGA with Nicole.

​

She's a sleeping champion with her highest being 18 hours and is a caffeine addict (Celsius especially). Caffeine does not work on her and so the only way to stay awake is to actually sleep. (Donate her Celcius please). If you see her and wave but she doesn't react it’s because she can’t see you. (She tends to take her glasses off because eye-contact makes her nervous). Other than that, she enjoys badminton so if anyone wanna match during the conference let her know!!!

 

Romanea is so excited to be chairing this FCMUN and working as USG. She hope this conference is a memorable one to all. Please feel free to message or talk to her anytime I am very approachable (regardless if she's wearing glasses or not)! kimho22r@mtholyoke.edu

Shanum Sarkar is a first-year student from Dhaka, Bangladesh, planning to major in Economics and International Relations. She is excited to serve as the Director of Publicity for this year’s FCMUN!

​

Before coming to Mount Holyoke, Shanum worked with the UN Foundation’s Girl Up initiative to advocate for gender justice and mental health equity. Her passion for storytelling led her to journalism, where she wrote extensively on social issues for The Daily Star, Bangladesh’s leading English newspaper. Through these experiences, she became deeply interested in how narratives shape policy and how voices from the margins can influence global conversations.

​

Shanum was drawn to FCMUN because of its spirit of dialogue and diplomacy: values that mirror her own belief in empathy as a force for change. When she’s not brainstorming campaign ideas or editing features, she’s probably painting, watching Gilmore Girls, or making the best cup of chai on campus :) 

Amy is a sophomore double majoring in Politics and Data Science, and this is her first year serving on the FCMUN Secretariat. She’s excited to contribute to this year’s FCMUN and help create a welcoming and engaging conference for all delegates.

​

When she’s not working on FCMUN, Amy can usually be found managing budgets for the International Relations Club, helping plan events for the Vietnamese Student Association, or working as a TA for STAT-140: Introduction to Statistics.

​

Outside of class, you might spot her at IR Club events, tucked away in a random building (recently Skinner) trying to finish homework (and occasionally panicking), or hiding in her dorm to recharge social battery. Feel free to reach out to her if you have any questions or concerns at nguye22p@mtholyoke.edu.

Nicole Mattiacci is a junior at Mount Holyoke College with a double major in International Relations and Environmental Studies. She is so excited to be back for her third year on the Secretariat! Nicole has previously served on the Secretariat as the Director of Special Events and the Under-Secretary-General, and on the MHC Model UN team’s executive board as the Crisis Trainer and Web Manager. She’s done MUN since high school, and has attended and won awards at several conferences over the years.

 

In addition to her work with FCMUN, she is on the executive board of the Student Government Association (SGA) as the Chair of Committees and serves on the Ways and Means Committee and the Appointing Board (as co-Chair). She also works for the Career Development Center as an External Relations Assistant, the Office of Admission as an Admission Ambassador, and an Environmental Policy Research Assistant at an on-campus lab studying international environmental governance. Outside of MHC, she is on the Board of Directors for a PA-based environmental nonprofit, GreenAllies. She’s also fluent in American Sign Language! 

When she isn’t spotted running around campus late to a meeting or ordering a triple shot of espresso over ice at the Frances Perk Café, she is chilling in our gorgeous campus library :) She can be reached via email at matti24n@mtholyoke.edu for cat photos, vinyl recommendations, or legitimate questions. Welcome back to FCMUN, everyone!!!

Saanvi Maurya is a freshman at Mount Holyoke College, majoring in Economics with a minor in Politics and a Nexus in Law, Public Policy, and Human Rights. Originally from New Delhi, India, Saanvi has been deeply involved in Model UN since grade 9, both as a delegate and a member of the secretariat, earning several awards along the way. While this isn’t her first time organizing an MUN conference, it marks her first experience with a collegiate-level one, something she’s incredibly excited about! 

​

At Mount Holyoke, she is also an active member of the MHC Model UN team and recently represented the college at RISC. Beyond MUN, she serves on the board of Awaz, Mount Holyoke’s South Asian students’ club, and the Undergraduate Pre Law Journal. 

Fun fact: Saanvi proudly identifies as a self-proclaimed “crazy nerd”. She once studied for five hours straight without a break, and her record study day clocks in at thirteen hours (breaks included!).

​

Saanvi is deeply grateful to the entire FCMUN Secretariat for their hard work and support, with a special shoutout to her seniors Evelyn and Nicole, and her fellow USGs, for their constant guidance. She can’t wait to meet everyone at the conference. Welcome, and welcome back! 

Feel free to reach out to her with anything about FCMUN at maury22s@mtholyoke.edu

Tessa is a senior at Mount Holyoke College, majoring in Anthropology and minoring in Biology. This is her first year helping with FCMUN, and she is so excited to help make this amazing conference possible. She started MUN junior year of college and has been in love ever since. 

 

Outside of Model UN, they like to draw and write. They are often found yapping about their favorite shows or their most recent Anthropology class. They're a big animal lover and have been around the world to learn about them, from signing chimps to hyenas in the Serengeti. They hope to one day work with their favorite animal, the orca! 

 

Tessa looks forward to this next adventure of being the Director of Logistics and helping to create another great FCMUN. If you have any questions, please feel free to email him at marti27t@mtholyoke.edu.

Kerry is a senior at Mount Holyoke majoring in Computer Science and Film, Media, Theatre. She is the Director of IT for FCMUN XVI and loves all things computers and tech, so she's excited to be managing the technical side of the conference!

 

His homeland of choice is his dorm room desk, where he uses his custom-built PC to play video games when he isn't using it to code the Mount Holyoke website (that's right! He's in charge of two websites!). He's also a Mount Holyoke tour guide, a YouTuber, an aspiring polyglot (Spanish, ASL, Japanese, Mandarin...), a serial improv'er, and the #1 fan of Canadian punk rock band PUP.

 

Kerry is thrilled to be working as the Director of IT with FCMUN, and her domain is this website, which she rules with swift typing and deft spell-checking. Therefore, if there are any questions or concerns about the website or its functionality, or if you'd like to learn why Firefox is the best browser, you can reach her any time at brown36k@mtholyoke.edu.

Zoey is a Senior International Relations and Environmental Studies major and has been with Mount Holyoke Model UN since her first year of college. She has participated in the China Two Sessions committee at CIAC, the Dividing Antarctica committee CHOMUN, and the EU committee at CMUNNY as a crisis delegate. Last year she served as the Secretary-General and the year before that she was the Director General. She is so excited to return to FCMUN in her final year and help with this conference one last time. She is originally from Casper, Wyoming: where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the antelope play!  

 

When she is not thinking about MUN (which is always) she can be found giving a tour of Mount Holyoke to prospective students, drinking an apple chai, educating students on the campus geothermal energy transition, or watching Parks and Recreation. If you want to make her happy, make her a cup of tea and ask her about songbirds. She can also be found in the dining hall with her friends for hours on end, or playing geography games. 

 

She is so excited to serve as a USG for FCMUN XV. She would like to thank her fellow USGs, Pragya and Saanvi, and the rest of the incredible Secretariat. She deeply cares about MUN and the amazing people she has met through this activity. Please feel free to reach out to her with any questions, comments, or concerns about FCMUN at picke22z@mtholyoke.edu.

Linden is a senior Italian and Geology major, and has been a part of MHCMUN since their first year of college! This is their second year on the secretariat after taking a break for study abroad, and he is incredibly excited to make his final FCMUN the best one yet. Having been a delegate at CIAC, CHOMUN, CMUNNY, BARMUN, and most recently RISC, they love nothing more than a good conference.

He was the former director of logistics and the current co-President of the MUN team, meaning this org lives permanently in his brain (no complaints there!). They are originally from Bedford, New Hampshire, a town known for very little besides Seth Meyers and the neighboring Adam Sandler (maybe also the local cronut shop, on a good day).

Outside of Model UN, Linden can be seen working at the library circulation desk, teaching and planning Italian department events, or struggling with soil science homework over a Fuji Apple Pear Celsius with ice (any agriculture majors are free to send an email)! He can be reached for questions about the Italian language, hit TV-shows 9-11 and ER, or Registration / Delegate concerns at wade23l@mtholyoke.edu. Happy FCMUN season to all!!

She is very excited to serve as the Director of Special Events for FCMUN. She has been actively involved in Model United Nations for several years, serving as the President of BITMUN Session IV, where she led a diverse team in organizing one of the most successful editions of the conference.

​

Beyond MUN, Yusha is passionate about community service, writing, and team sports. She enjoys playing football and volleyball, practices martial arts, and often unwinds by playing her guitar. She believes in the power of curiosity, empathy, and teamwork, values she strives to bring into every project she undertakes. When she’s not partaking in numerous clubs, she’s probably hanging out with her friends for hours, talking to her 6 cats back home through video call, or watching Modern Family!
