Like many of the volunteers, she is a big Marvel fan and can’t wait to watch the new tv shows!

Sama has represented the delegations of Jordan in the HRC, Italy in the HRC and finally Denmark in SOCHUM. When not violently debating with other, Sama enjoys: painting, drawing, writing, singing, playing her guitar and watching Netflix instead of working on her ENGG 130 assignments. In all, Sama is eager to meet all of you wonderful high school students and see what you have to offer at HSMUN 2020!

DIPLOMATIC AIDES
Matthew Danyluik

He loves getting involved on campus, and spends his time working on student-led projects in neurotechnology and sustainable development, as well as his research in human memory function. He’s also a big hockey fan (Red Wings, not Oilers!) and loves playing soccer when he’s not perpetually injured. Matthew is an HSMUN rookie, and this coming year will be his first with the conference: despite this, he can’t wait to help facilitate an amazing experience for all!
Jonathan George

He has a deep passion for history, and is always eager to discuss classical antiquity or modern subjects with anyone interested. Want to debate as to whether it was Liu Bei, Cao Cao or Sun Quan who deserved to unite China during the Three Kingdoms era? Interested in discussing the role the 1967 Arab-Israeli war led to the downfall of secularism in the Middle East? He’s your guy! This is his first year volunteering for HSMUN and wishes best luck to all delegates this year.
