Hello delegates! My name is Amisha Wadhwa and I am so thrilled to welcome you to BMUN and UNHRC this year (undoubtedly the best committee, of course).  Some nerdy tidbits about me: I am a second-year at Berkeley pursuing a degree in Political Science with a double-concentration in International Relations and American Politics. As someone very passionate about service and advocacy, I am excited to explore the intersection of global affairs and social entrepreneurship in my future. Outside of Cal, I am currently interning with USAID on a research project about the Black Lives Matter movement and drafting a policy brief about preventing instances of police brutality. I have also had a chance to do field research on the refugee crisis at the Mexican border, so I am personally invested in seeing our committee come together to take on the very pressing issue of the inclusion of minorities.  More about me as a human: In my free time, you can catch me jamming out to music from the ear...

This is my first year in MUN and I'm so excited to meet all of you very soon!  I'm also serving as the Head of Finance and Operations at the ASUC Student Advocate's Office, helping students resolve any disputes they may have with the university.

I also love traveling with my family and (amateur) hiking! Wishing everyone the best in all preparations for this year's conference! Hope to see everyone soon and please feel free to reach out to me or the oth...
