Meet The SASMUN VII Secretariat Team
Aryan Secretary-General
Aryan Pershad is a senior at Singapore American School. After four years of being a part of the MUN program , he is overjoyed at the prospect of being able to give back to it as the Secretary General for this year’s SASMUN conference. He loves to explore a variety of disciplines, and will gladly hold a conversation with his peers about anything from biotechnology to rhetoric to diplomacy. Outside of MUN, Aryan loves to both write and read about a plethora of topics. When he is not doing one of those two things, you can probably find him either out with friends, at his desk, or out with his dog.
Sabrina Deputy Secretary General
Sabrina Peña-Sy is a junior focused in political economy and philosophy. She joined MUN in 7th grade and has since found a love for history and geopolitics and inspiration in the determination and ingenuity reflected in so many MUN delegates. She has had the privilege of leading the Elementary School Model United Nations program alongside her fellow Deputy Secretaries, and looks forward to watching the fruitful debate during this year’s SASMUN conference. Outside of MUN, she is a debater and a Student Government representative, and outside of school, she“enjoys” listening to politics and philosophy podcasts, making coffee, buying books, organizing yarn, and watching the ship of state run itself into iceberg after iceberg.
