Megan Kong
Co Chair
Megan is a final year Politics and IR student from UCL, and she also serves as the Acads Vice President for the university's United Nations Association. She is originally from Hong Kong, and has been doing MUN since 2017. After LSEMUN HS last year, she cannot wait for its new edition as LYMUN 2025, and she is super excited to chair the AU PSC, which is a committee that might sound intimidating, but is actually very fun in real life!
Outside MUN, she loves singing, and making new friends, so please don't be shy to approach her at anytime. One fun fact about her is that she used to compete for UCL Taekwondo, but don't worry, she's not scary at all!
