Intro: Vice Chair Jacqueline


Hello there! My name is Jacqueline Arteaga and I am one of your vice chairs for BMUN 67! I am currently a sophomore at UC Berkeley studying a double major in Political Science and Spanish Literature. I consider myself to be  from both Santa Ana and Garden Grove in Orange County, California as both shaped my identity. Apart from BMUN, I also work for the External Affairs Vice President’s office of the ASUC (our student government) which deals with the issues of our student body.
In my spare time, I watch a bit (or quite a lot) of Netflix and Hulu series. In recent times, I have also become quite a fan of musicals like Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Hamilton, and Les Miserables.
I can’t wait to meet you all at conference and I wish you the best of luck!
Best wishes, Jacqueline

Is there a way for it to blend together with the LGBTQ community & its culture?  Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Please correspond with me through email if you do receive a change and have questions. Update 2 : We will be releasing a procedure guide for our committee on Sunday. Please be on the lookout! We hope that this is not too great of an adjustment for you, but we are currently still working out some kinks. Update 3 : Comment on the blog posts!
