General and Diplomatic Aides

  • General Aide: Travis Wong

    Travis is a first year nursing student from Vancouver. He looks forward to his first year with HSMUN volunteering as General Aide. Outside of the classroom, Travis enjoys staying active by playing volleyball, going to the gym, and completing hiking trails. He also loves watching hockey (he's a Canucks fan, obviously) and hopes they will have a better season this year—especially if they beat the Oilers. He is very excited to meet all the delegates this year!

  • General Aide: Heidi Tjia

    Heidi is pleased to kick off her first year with HSMUN as General Aide. She is a first year student with a major in Linguistics and a minor in Computer Science. Prior to HSMUN, she has represented Canada in the World Bank in IMUN and has volunteered at another conference. In her free time, she’s a hermit in her dorm room, crocheting while watching something on her laptop or studying a little too much for comfort. Even though she’s a little quiet upon first glance, she’ll always be glad to have a lovely conversation with someone else. She looks forward to meeting delegates at the conference this year. 

  • General Aide: Gryphon Koebel-D'Cunha

    Gryphon is in his final semester of accounting and starting his CPA in January. He has helped out with HSMUN as a general aide for the last two years and has really enjoyed the conference. Gryphon enjoys skiing, cooking, and playing with his two cats. He looks forward to volunteering with HSMUN and seeing all the great speakers. 

  • Diplomatic Aide: Ayana Varghese

    Ayana is thrilled to be a diplomatic aide at HSMUN this year! She is a first year Business student majoring in Business Economics and Law. This is her fourth year participating in MUN, and her first as a volunteer with HSMUN. She is from India and moved to Edmonton three years ago. In her free time, Ayana loves to read gothic classics and listen to music. She is also a David Bowie fanatic and always ready to talk about him. She is excited to see all the new delegates and their amazing ideas!

  • Diplomatic Aide: Ava Lawlor

    Ava is excited to serve as a diplomatic aide for HSMUN 2025! She has served two years in HSMUN as a delegate and this is her first year as a HSMUN volunteer. Ava is a first year psychology student with a minor in biology. Avas hobbies include reading, mainly classics, and binge watching movies. Ava is obsessed with Oscar Wilde (seriously don’t get her started). She is from the maritimes and moved to Edmonton 4 years ago and is still always lost in the city. She is very excited to meet all the delegates this year!

  • Diplomatic Aide: Amritha Anil

    Contradictions are life's constant and where better to contradict people than at a MUN. Meet Amritha Anil, a first-year math and economics major thrilled to be your diplomatic aide! While her 6 years of MUN inspires many sentiments within her, her favourite is the google drive folder of 'failed resolutions'. When not in debate mode, she loves to immerse herself in books, tunes, and nature hikes. She's also the person to approach if you want random facts about jellyfish and moo deng(the cutest baby hippo EVER) .
