Henry Fleck
Secretary General
Hey all! My name is Henry Fleck, your Secretary-General for LAKEMUN I and NUMUN XXIV. Originally from Skokie, IL (right next door!), I’m a senior studying Political Science and History, with a minor in Environmental Policy. I transferred to Northwestern my sophomore year, and have found it an exceptionally welcoming community; beyond MUN, I lead NU’s chapter of BridgeUSA, serve on our student government’s executive board, and founded our medieval swordfighting club! In my spare time, I also love board game design and creative writing. I am so honored to be LAKEMUN’s founding SG, and incredibly excited to see you all here in February!

Hi everyone! I’m Alexa, NUMUN’s Director of Finance. I’m a Northwestern sophomore studying MMSS and Economics, and I’m from Manila, Philippines. Outside of MUN, I’m the treasurer of Kaibigan, Northwestern’s Philippine student association, and I’m part of a few other finance, law, and debate clubs. You can always find me either agonizing over an Excel sheet or brooding by the lake. I play golf, and I love poetry, dragons, and math models (allegedly). Looking forward to meeting you guys in Evanston!

Lucy Yao

Hey guys! I’m Lucy Yao and I can not wait to be your Chief of Staff for NUMUN XXIV and LAKEMUN I this year!! Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m a junior studying Journalism, Environmental Policy & Culture, and Cognitive Science (plus a tiny Integrated Marketing Certificate). I’ve competed regularly in MUN since high school, where outside of that I’m somehow juggling my time between other clubs, artistic ventures, working at Philz coffee, and covering the miscellaneous events of Chicagoland with my trusty phone tripod. Each conference truly is a love letter built from the blood, sweat, and tears of everyone on board, and I’m so so excited for Northwestern to finally have two come to fruition! Until then though delegates, we await :D
