Charge d'affaires - Juliette Brun
My name is Juliette Brun, I am a senior and vice-president of the Model UN team at Riverview High School. I hope to attend college after graduation and pursue a degree in science. Outside of school, I love to play sports, listen to music, and be outside. I also love to travel and see the world. I speak French and Italian and get the opportunity to spend my summers in Belgium and Italy visiting my family! I started out, in MUN as a very unconfident and nervous delegate but grew to become not only a much more confident speaker but also a more confident person. Model UN is a unique world where creativity and innovativeness meet real issues that require deep thought and multifaceted solutions and in that space, I am pushed to think outside the box and be willing to see other points of view and ideas. This experience over the years, has been extremely rewarding and has completely shifted my view of the world, for the better!
The Charge d'affaires serves as a key representative and facilitator, managing external relations and specific projects. This officer plays a crucial role in fostering partnerships and ensuring effective communication, contributing significantly to our team's outreach and collaborative endeavors.
General Secretary - Aliyah Lookabaugh
My name is Aliyah Lookabaugh, I am a senior at Riverview High School, and I am going into my fourth year of Model UN. MUN has allowed me to improve my leadership skills, collaborate with others, and find my voice. It’s a great way to gain confidence and learn how to think on your feet. I also feel that MUN has made me more well-versed in politics and social issues. Throughout my time in MUN I have had the opportunity to attend numerous conferences, such as PittMUN, MUNUM (University of Michigan) and PMUNC (Princeton University) as a way to develop my skills. Outside of Model UN, I am an active member of the arts! I am captain of Riverview’s dance team (Raiderettes), I have performed in our musicals since Junior High, and I sing with the Junior Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh. After graduation, I hope to attend a four-year university to study forensic psychology and criminology.
The General Secretary is responsible for the administrative backbone of Riverview Model UN. From managing records to coordinating meetings and communications, this role ensures that all internal processes run efficiently, providing essential support for our team's activities and initiatives.
Secretary of the Treasury - Hannah Hudack
Hello Delegates! My name is Hannah Hudack and I have been part of the model UN since I was a freshman in high school. I have competed in places like the Universities of Michigan and Toronto and Princeton University, which we’re all amazing experiences to have and to be given. Model UN really does improve your speaking skills and gives you a better viewpoint on our world. I would like my future plans to be part of a four-year program in college that majors in food science and agriculture. Some fun facts about myself include that I love to run, play soccer, and this is year will be my first time playing drums in band!
The Secretary of the Treasury manages the financial health of Riverview Model UN. This includes budgeting, fundraising, and financial reporting, ensuring responsible allocation of resources to support our events and activities. Their diligence keeps our organization fiscally sound and enables our continued growth.
Sponsor - Ken Kubistek
I have been the proud sponsor of the Riverview Model UN team for 24 years. Working with our students and helping them find the confidence necessary to be successful at this is possibly the most rewarding aspect of my time in the classroom. Watching the students find success at the conferences we attend and grow from uncertain freshmen to confident seniors with the skills to compete in the 21st century is what it is all about.
"Don’t be discouraged if you don’t win the first time, or the second, or even the fifth. If you truly want to succeed you can, and you have unlimited resources and support to do so as long as you are willing to put in the work to access and utilize them."
A proud Riverview Model UN member
