She is passionate about dance and has been performing since she was four years old. Her favourite things to do in her spare time are watch Netflix and bake shortbread cookies. She has her fingers crossed that HSMUN can be (safely) in person this year!
David Mayhew
David is a first year economics student with a love for US politics and exploring political extremism. This is David’s 2rd year at HSMUN and 1st year as a volunteer, and he looks forward to making HSMUN 2021 the best one yet. David loves volunteering for any number of causes, from environmental causes to community schools and churches. When he is not found reading a needlessly long political twitter thread, David can be seen studying chess and finding riddles.

After spending three years as a delegate in high school, he is looking forward to his first year as a volunteer and hopes to provide everyone with the same in-depth experience he had.
