Study Guide

Hi everyone! I’m Laureen and I am a 2nd year Politics and IR student at QMUL. I really enjoy doing MUN and look forward to sharing that with you all! I have an odd taste for conspiracy theories and am always up for a discussion on them, or, of course about anything else :D.

Co-Chair: Laureen Raheel

Hi! I’m Carolina, your Co-chair. I’m a Politics and International Relations student, MUN enthusiast, and cheese lover. When I’m not overthinking about international crises, I’m probably overthinking on what snack to have next or if I turned the oven off before leaving the house. I’m excited to see what this committee is capable of doing. Let the chaos begin.

Co-Chair: Carolina Marques

Assistant Chair: Penelope Pelling

My name is Penelope and I am in Year 13. I am studying English Literature, French, Spanish, and Politics at A-Level. I have been doing MUN since Year 8, attending conferences as a delegate in a wide range of committees from Environment to SPECPOL to Security Council. I also was Assistant Chair for the Arab League at LYMUN 2025. I am going to study French and Spanish at university, and then pursue a career in international relations or law. I hope to continue with my passion for MUN beyond school.

Outside of MUN, I enjoy reading and playing the piano and the trombone.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you and having an enriching and entertaining conference!
