Secretariat

Meet the secretariat of VCMUN 2027!

Luca Di Fiore

Secretary-General

Hello everyone! I am Luca Di Fiore and I am honored to be serving as the Secretary-General of VCMUN 2027! I am in my second year of the Law, Government and Society program and have been a part of Model UN since I began studying at Vanier.

I joined Model UN initially due to a friend’s recommendation and have since attended several conferences with the VCMUN delegation, developing more as a delegate and making many new connections with every conference I attend (as a crisis delegate to be precise).

Our aim for this conference is to create a welcoming and fun environment, in the form of fascinating committees and an exciting social! My hope for this year’s iteration of VCMUN is that we can provide all delegates, new and experienced, with a conference that fosters debate, diplomacy and the forging of new connections, capable of creating memories that will last a lifetime. I look forward to seeing you all at VCMUN 2027!

Bahar Habibi

Chargée d'Affaires and Vice President

Hi everyone! My name is Bahar Habibi and I'm honored to be serving as the Chargée d’Affaires and Vice President for VCMUN 2026-2027!

I’m a second-year Honours Social Science student, and I joined Model UN during my first term here at Vanier. I have always had a passion for politics and global issues, and MUN allowed me to explore these interests more deeply, especially as a GA del.

Attending many conferences throughout the year has shown me the importance of collaboration and diplomacy, qualities that are especially crucial in our world today. Beyond this, what I enjoy most about MUN is the opportunity to meet new people and develop valuable personal skills!

With our conference this year, we hope to create a welcoming environment and to encourage delegates to think outside the box and challenge themselves in their committees! I’m looking forward to seeing you all around the circuit and at VCMUN 2027!

Océanne Daigle

USG of General Assembly and Specialized Agency

My name is Océanne Daigle, and I am delighted to serve as the Under Secretary General of General Assembly and Specialized Agency for the Vanier Model United Nations 2026-2027 secretariat! I am a second year Liberal Arts student, and I have been doing Model UN since April of 2025 for my high school's own conference.

I joined Model UN because I did it as part of my curriculum in secondary five and I fell in love with it, the debates, the connections you make. It helped strengthen my public speaking skills as well as the general anxiety I would get to speak in front of a crowd.

My goals for the conference is to provide committees that are thought provoking and have not been done very often.

I hope every delegate has fun and creates lasting memories at VCMUN’s conference, and I am looking forward to seeing you all there!

Solar Chitra

USG of Crisis Committees

My name is Solar Chitra, and I am overjoyed to serve as Vanier’s Under Secretary General of Crisis committees for VCMUN 2026-2027. I am in my second year of Liberal Arts, and have been doing Model United Nations since my graduating year of high school.

I’ve always loved politics and debates, as well as MUN having helped me through my struggles with social anxiety, so I know firsthand how intimidating stepping into a committee room can feel, especially in cases as unpredictable as crisis committees. That experience is why I care so much about creating an environment where every delegate feels challenged yet supported.

For our conference, I hope to bring a much more creative angle to committees, whether that means unexpected scenarios, faster-paced mechanics, or storylines that push delegates to think beyond conventional diplomacy. In crisis committees, the most memorable moments often come from the unexpected, and I am excited to see how delegates respond when plans inevitably fall apart.

Jayden Mioko Tshishiku

USG of Public Relations

Hello everyone! My name is Jayden Mioko Tshishiku, and it is my pleasure to act as one of VCMUN'S Under Secretary Generals of Public Relations this year! I am a second year Liberal Arts student who dreams of pursuing a career in journalism. That desire of mine has led me to join Vanier's Model UN club during my second semester.

I once had the privilege of a guided tour of the UN headquarters in NYC, which sparked an interest in decision-making. With that and the love I harbor for debate, I quickly found myself looking forward to meetings, eager to learn more. As an executive, I hope to capture that surely familiar fascination into the spirit of our conference. I want VCMUN to feel exciting, interesting and fun, and I hope to welcome all delegates just as well as I have been welcomed into this large family. I hope to meet you all at VCMUN 2027!

Sucess Aleonjie

USG of Public Relations

Hey delegates! I'm Sucess Aleonjie, and I'm excited to serve as one of Vanier’s USGs of Public Relations for VCMUN 2026-2027. I am in my second year of Honors Social Science, and have been doing Model United Nations since my second semester at Vanier.

Fun fact: MUN wasn't even my idea at first. A friend recommended it to me because I love debating and arguing, and I’ve been hooked ever since.What started as me just saying “sure, I’ll try it once” turned into something I actually look forward to. I’ve met some incredible people, had debates that got way more intense than I expected.

As one of the USGs of PR, my goal is to make sure VCMUN 2027 feels lively, welcoming, and just overall fun from start to finish. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, there’s a place for you here.

Can’t wait to see you all at VCMUN 2027!

Waten Alzaim

USG of Logistics

Hello! My name is Waten Alzaim, and I’m honoured to serve as your Under-Secretary-General of Logistics for the upcoming year. I’m currently a second-year Pure & Applied student, and I first joined MUN during my very first semester of college.

I’ve always loved debating and arguing, so I figured, “Why not?” What started as a simple decision quickly turned into something I never wanted to stop. I will forever be grateful for this incredible community, it has helped me improve my public speaking skills and introduced me to people that are very near and dear to my heart.

As the USG of logistics, my goal will always be to make sure that our conference is the most unforgettable and enjoyable on the circuit! So if you see me running around during the conference, don’t hesitate to come say hi! I’m so excited to meet all of you and can’t wait to see you at VCMUN 2027!!!

Mohamed Hussein

USG of Finance

My name is Mohamed Hussein, and I am thrilled to serve as Vanier’s Under Secretary General of Finance for the VCMUN 2026-2027 Secretariat! I am a second year Languages student and have been doing Model UN since my first semester at Vanier.

I have always loved geopolitics, debating, and travel, and so I didn’t have to think twice about signing up for Model UN on Club Day. Travelling and making connections are definitely my favourite parts of the MUN experience. MUN is also a big learning experience. In every conference you learn something new. It has helped me tremendously to get over my fear of public speaking and has helped me make many amazing friends!

For VCMUN I want to use my position to help make this conference the biggest and most memorable CEGEP conference in Montreal. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at VCMUN 2027!

Nicholas Chase

Head of Equity

My name is Nicholas Chase, I’m a third year social science student, and I am proud to be your head of equity for VCMUN 2027. I joined Model UN because of the great community and the chance to pursue something I am passionate about. Over time, I've stuck around not just for the experience, but for the valuable friendships I have formed along with you (shoutout to my fellow execs!)

As Head of Equity, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming and fair environment for everyone while keeping the fun, energetic and engaging feel that VCMUN is known for. I’m really excited to meet all of you over the weekend and help make this conference an unforgettable experience. It’s truly a privilege to help organize this event. I hope you enjoy your time here, challenge yourselves, make new connections and create lasting memories.

And, of course, may the odds be ever in your favor. Yes, that's a Hunger Games reference!

Mohamad Chehab

Head of Delegate Training and Co-Chief of Staff

Hello! I'm Mohamad Chehab and I'm ecstatic to be serving as Co-Chief of Staff and Head of Delegate Training for VCMUN 2027. I am studying Health Science at Vanier.

I've been involved in Model UN since I was still attending high school in Lebanon and despite the differing formats, Model UN maintains a distinct quality to connect people wherever you go. This is a massive community created by students for students, there's no other activity quite like it. There will be many times you will find yourself outside of your comfort zone, but I'm certain that you will come out of those situations far more capable delegates. I plan to use my position as Head of Delegate Training to uphold these values at VCMUN and continue to get delegates more involved in this wonderful circuit we’ve all helped create.

No matter the result I hope you can come out of VCMUN saying you tried your best. I hope to see you all there!

Sophia Bazail Fernandez

President and Co-Chief of Staff

Hi everyone! My name is Sophia Bazail Fernandez and I am honored to be serving as VCMUN’s President and Co-Chief of Staff for the 2026-2027 academic year. As a second year Law, Society, and Government student, it is no surprise that I have a strong interest in global affairs, politics, and human rights, all of which inspired me in my first semester to join the club I am now directing with a sensational executive team.

The opportunities, networking, and knowledge Model UN has provided me is far beyond what I had imagined before embarking on this simulated diplomatic journey, and I’d like to share this experience with as many people!

For the next two semesters, I will do my best to make this collegiate conference a welcoming and inspiring environment for those starting out their delegate journey, and a challenging one for those returning to the circuit. Looking forward to seeing you all at VCMUN 2027!
