Hrishi Desai

Chair

Dear Delegates, Hi everyone! I’m Hrishi, a junior at TJ and I am so excited to be one of your chairs for ECOFIN! This is my third TechMUN and my third year doing MUN, and I can confidently say that MUN has been one of my favorite experiences in high school. Whether it’s intensely debating during a mod or almost getting hit by a car on the streets of Philly, I’ve made some of my best friends and many unforgettable memories. It’s crazy to think that through this club, I’ve grown my public speaking, collaboration, and leadership skills both inside committee and out.

Outside of MUN, you can find me playing baseball, tennis, trying new foods (send me restaurant/food recommendations), doing chemistry, and watching Esha nearly burn her kitchen down trying to make gochujang noodles. In committee, I will be looking for delegates who show creativity, cooperativity, and initiative. Even if it’s your first conference, I hope each and every one of you raises your placard and steps out of your comfort zone because it makes for such a rewarding experience. I know that you might be nervous, but don’t be afraid to speak up - say what hasn’t been said, be creative, and go against what others think - that’s the key to having fun! See you guys in April!

Chair

Hey guys! I’m Esha Madamalla, a junior at TJ, and I will be your other chair for ECOFIN this year at TechMUN. I started doing MUN at the beginning of high school making this my third year doing it and I'm happy to say that it is one of my favorite clubs. Through MUN I have met so many people both in school and outside of school and have many valuable friendships. MUN has its ups and downs, and oftentimes you find yourself in tricky situations, but navigating out of them makes the whole experience worth it. From going on CVS runs and stacking up on good snacks, to acting up as Elon Musk at TechMUN 2 years ago, I can’t wait to see what TechMUN this year holds for us.

Outside of MUN, I love to cook and bake, doodling on everything, and get cursed out by Hrishi in Spanish. I am looking forward to making this conference your favorite one so far, and I am excited for all the fun to come. We are looking for delegates with good communication, high energy levels, and are overall well rounded. I’m excited to meet you all, feel free to email us. Good luck!
