Head Chair
Minchae (Kaylyn) Kim
Hello everyone! My name is Kaylyn Kim, and I’m honored to serve as the WHA Head President this year at TIANMUN XIV. I am a senior from Chengdu International School, and since the 8th grade, MUN has been an outlet for me to think critically about public health policies and understand the intersection between policy and medicine. Although I’ve participated in over 13 conferences, this marks my last TIANMUN conference, making this experience one that I find bittersweet and exciting at the same time. See you soon in November!
Deputy Chair
Jaemin Kim
My name is JaeMin Kim, a Junior at Tianjin International School, and it is my honor to serve as your Deputy Chair for the World Health Assembly at TIANMUN XIV.
Thinking back to my first conference, I remember being deeply impressed by the passion and skill of fellow delegates, but I also understand the nerves and uncertainty that come with MUN. As your Deputy Chair, I assure you that those feelings are completely normal, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. This committee is a space for collaboration, growth, and spirited debate. I encourage you all to engage confidently, think critically, and, most importantly, enjoy the experience.
I look forward to witnessing your insightful solutions and the impactful discussions. See you soon!
Deputy Chair
Yeowon (Sophia) Kang
Greetings! My name is Sophia Kang, and I am currently a junior attending Chengdu International School. It is my utmost honor to serve you as your Deputy Chair in the World Health Assembly for this year’s TianMUN conference.
Reflecting on my first MUN experience, I also had difficulty adapting to the procedures and rules, since everyone was watching whenever I took the floor. I could not keep track of the discussions, and the MUN-specific terminology was hard to understand. Eventually, I found my place in MUN and began engaging more in the diplomatic debates. During this TianMun conference, delegates would also face similar challenges, and I encourage delegates to speak up during the sessions.
As a deputy chair, I cannot wait to see the negotiations and diplomatic debates that will take place, and the personal growth of every delegate during the conference!
