Shanna Chung

Chair

Hey! My name is Shanna, and I’m beyond thrilled to serve as your chair for Operation Infra. I am a junior at TJ, and I’ve been competing in the team since freshman year. Justin and I have been double del partners for three years now, and I’m so excited to see everything come around full-circle with us chairing together! I hope to foster a great environment for you all during TechMUN weekend. Outside of MUN, you can almost always find me working at the library, at dance practice, baking, or looking for new Celsius flavors to try.

As a chair for a double-del specialized committee, I am looking for partners who are able to think on the spot. Throughout my years in MUN, being in countless committee sessions has taught me to think quickly and act based on the flow of the room, regardless of whether or not it be the most ideal situation. This committee will move fast with unexpected updates, and I’ll be looking for partners who work well together, those that command the room and grab everyone’s attention. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to operationinfratechmun2025@gmail.com. From opening speeches to crisis updates, I’m looking forward to every step of TechMUN with you all!

Justin Kim

Chair

Hi everyone! My name is Justin, and I’m looking forward to serving as one of your chairs in this exciting committee. I’m a junior at TJ and have been doing MUN since 7th grade. I’ve made many lifelong friends and memories through this club and I hope you all will do the same in our committee during TechMUN weekend. When I’m not prepping last-minute or competing in crocs in the committee room, you can probably find me pushing Mandy on brawl stars, going on bike rides, drowning in homework, or taking power naps.

I am looking for confident delegates who aren’t afraid of a challenge. Model UN has helped me step out of my comfort zone, and I’m looking for delegates who will do the same, whether it be giving speeches on the fly or joining unfamiliar blocs. I’m also looking for great partner chemistry: as OG double del partners, Shanna and I have been through it all, so trust in yourself and your partner and have some fun. If you have any questions, reach out to operationinfratechmun2025@gmail.com. Get hyped–we have some great things planned for you guys!
