Vrinda Shah, a junior at Maggie Walker, is thrilled to be your co-chair this year. She has been an enthusiastic Model UN delegate for 3 years and this marks her second year at GSMUN having chaired UNEP before. Other than Model UN, Vrinda is a regional officer of TSA, is the captain of Speech Club, the secretary of Math Club, and has also been a member of many other clubs like FBLA, Economics and Investment Club, the school’s newspaper Jabberwock, and others. Outside of school, Vrinda loves to play badminton, and is also a researcher at VCU. She is eager to see what solutions delegates have to offer in tackling the world’s most pressing issues!

Aryan Kanduri, a senior, is excited to serve as co-chair of the BJP committee. This is his fourth year doing Model UN and his fourth year participating in GSMUN, having chaired ECLAC last year, SPECPOL the year before, and being a staffer three years ago. Outside of Model UN, Aryan enjoys tennis, hiking, travelling, and basically anything adventurous! He is also an active volunteer at Bon Secours and worked under a mentor to research liver cancer. He is looking forward to meeting all of the delegates in February!
