MEET THE SECRETARIAT TEAM
Secretary-General
Tammy Hsu
Dear delegates, advisers, and all attendees,
Welcome to the third annual New Taipei Model United Nations (NTMUN III)! My name is Tammy Hsu, a senior at Asia American International Academy, and it is my honor to serve as the Secretary General of NTMUN III.
I began Model United Nations in 6th grade and continued it after transferring to AAIA in 10th grade. As a founding member of the secretariat team, I served as DSG for NTMUN I and II. Over the past few years, it has been a joy to see NTMUN grow from an idea into a recurring annual event that has become an integral part of our school community.
MUN has played a pivotal role in shaping who I am today. It taught me how to debate effectively as a delegate, manage a room as a chair, and lead a team to host a conference as a secretariat member. More than that, MUN helped me discover my future aspirations beyond high school. Most importantly, it gave me a community of supportive, like-minded individuals. I hope that, like me, you will find a passion for global diplomacy, debate, and a sense of belonging through NTMUN III. We, the secretariat team, are committed to providing you with the best conference experience possible. I am excited to welcome you to AAIA’s campus this February; see you at NTMUN III!
Best regards,
Tammy

Dear NTMUN III Delegates, Advisors, and Guests,
My name is Mischa Chou, a senior from Asia American International Academy, and I am beyond excited to serve as your Deputy Secretary General of Press and Media!
When I first started participating in MUN back in seventh grade, I never could have imagined how far this journey would take me. As a new delegate, I was completely unprepared for the number of impromptu speeches I’d be called to make. I remember dreading being called up and hoping nobody had any POIs for me! However, over time, my passion for debating grew, and I’ve been fortunate to make many new friends along the way. MUN has taught me to view the world through different perspectives, and it has also shown me the true value of compromise and communication.
NTMUN 2025 marks my 22nd conference, and it is a great honor to share this experience with all of you. While this may be one of my final conferences, I am committed to making it as memorable for you as it is for me. Whether this is your first conference or your last, I hope that your MUN experience leaves a lasting impact and helps shape you for the better.
I look forward to seeing you all in February!

Greetings, delegates! My name is Sarina Tsai, a junior at Asia American International Academy, and it is with great pleasure that I serve as your Deputy Secretary-General of Logistics for NTMUN III.
​
Since I began my MUN journey in 7th grade, I have come to enjoy researching and debating about the global issues impacting our world today. I believe that every issue, no matter how seemingly small, makes a significant impact, and thus should be treated with the utmost care. As the future generation of leaders, we have a responsibility to make the world a better place. The best way to begin is by becoming well-informed, and I am proud to announce that all of you MUNers are doing this already by simply attending conferences and engaging in diplomatic debates. The next step is to take what you have learned and to share your knowledge with others, to promote collaboration and communication. Whether this happens in MUN conferences or outside, I am sure that many of you will come to realize the power of your own voice. After all, no voice is too soft, no action too small.
MUN has fueled my passion for debate and left a profound impact on my life, and I hope to spread my love for MUN to you all. With that said, I look forward to seeing you all in February!
Deputy Secretary-General
of Committees
Naomi Hsu
Honorable student officers, fellow delegates, and esteemed guests,
Welcome to the third annual conference of NTMUN!
My name is Naomi Hsu, a senior at Asia American International Academy, and I am truly honored to serve as your Deputy Secretary General of Committees for NTMUN III.
When I first joined MUN as an 8th grader, I’ll admit: I didn’t expect much. I wasn’t sure how sitting in a room debating resolutions would mean anything in the grand scheme of things. But it only took one conference to change my perspective. The heated debates, the passionate clauses, and the countless amendments made me realize that MUN is more than just a weekend activity. It’s a space where students come together to confront challenges that feel far bigger than ourselves.
At NTMUN III, whether this is your first conference or your last, I encourage you to embrace the experience fully. Speak up, even if you’re unsure. Listen actively, even when you disagree. Together, we’re not just participating in a conference; we’re practicing diplomacy, which is needed now more than ever.
