Chinmayee Yerraguntla
Hi! My name is Chinmayee, and I'm so excited to be one of your chairs for this committee. I am a junior at TJ, and this is my fifth year doing Model UN. I enjoy MUN because of all the memories I've made, from the stressed knee-shaking during opening ceremonies to the stressed knee-shaking during closing ceremonies. In all seriousness though, I've made so many friends and memories that I will treasure forever, and I wouldn't trade those people and experiences for anything. Outside of MUN, I enjoy downing cans of energy drinks, binge-watching shows on Netflix, and destroying Chipotle bowls with ease.
Delegates, I hope that if there’s anything you take from this committee, it’s that there is no experience more rewarding than one where you learn. Whether this is your first or last conference, I hope you step out of your boundaries and grow as a delegate. In committee, we’re looking for delegates who are diplomatic (!), collaborative, and truly representative of their position. I cannot wait to meet you all and I hope that your experience at TechMUN XXXI will be an enjoyable one! If ever you need to reach us before committee, feel free to email us at siliconvalleytechmun2024@gmail.com!

Hey! My name is Tanmayee and I’m a junior at TJ. I’m honored to be one of your chairs for this committee! I was curious about MUN since 8th grade but committed to it freshman year, and it taught me more than I could imagine. From writing last-minute opening speeches to living off of ice cream during nationals, I have made so many memories and met delegates from all over the world. These relationships and skills that I gained through MUN, stay with me forever and are not just limited to when I’m participating in a conference! Through MUN, I’ve grown not only as a delegate and got over the fear of public speaking, but also as a person, and I love how it allows you to passionately share your thoughts on a burning topic in our world. Aside from times I’m not stressing over a conference, I usually eat Cold Stone ice cream, attempt to draw, and binge TV shows.
I highly encourage you to go out of your comfort zone, whether working with someone you didn’t expect, standing up for your ideas, or going for that mod speech you weren’t prepared for. Don’t be afraid to stand for what your country believes in, and create out-of-the-box solutions! If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to talk, feel free to email me at siliconvalleytechmun2024@gmail.com. Can’t wait to meet all of you!
