EMILY ANSELL
SECRETARY GENERAL
Emily is a third year Politics and International Relations student. Originally from Portsmouth, she started Model UN with her sixth form, just over five years ago, regarding it as a pandemic hobby that got rather out of hand. She’s been debating ever since, having chaired committees across the UK, and is also a familiar face in Crisis backrooms.
In 2023, Emily served on the secretariat for the first edition of BathMUN and was the Training Officer for the Bath Model UN Society. She’s now delighted to be back as Secretary General for the 2025 edition, taking over from Raghav.
In her free time, she enjoys reading up on all things UK politics, caring for her jungle of house plants, experimenting with new sourdough bread recipes, and getting delightfully lost in London while checking off items from her “tourist” bucket list—suggestions welcomed.
JAMIE WONG
UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL OF CHAIRING
From the West Midlands. Got bored one day and joined BathMUN. Joined for the socials, stayed for the people. Turns out you have to debate as well though.
Currently searching for MUNclave owner.
JENNI HARGREAVES
UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL OF ACADEMICS
She was born many many years ago on a day where mediocre films had just been released and there was a new zeal for New Zealand wines (according to the New York Post), a few years later Pope John Paul II died and she was still in Norfolk. That fact is not relevant. Years passed and she moved from Norfolk to Wiltshire before she arrived at Bath in 2021.
"But she's a final year now?" Yes! A degree change, many MUN conferences, and she is now your USG of Academics for BathMUN 2025. She looks forward to seeing you all in November, where there may yet be another new zeal for New Zealand wines as well as debates that could be adapted into an award winning film like Conclave 2024.
JAKE ASHLEY AYRISS
UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL OF DELEGATE AFFAIRS
After escaping Wales, they discovered MUN in the University of Bath but spent time that should have been spent at conferences bedridden with flu. They like doom scrolling Wikipedia and not being evil. They're looking forward to addressing the concerns of delegates, whilst frantically running around looking like an idiot.
ALISTAIR
ELLIOTT-GREEN
UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL OF CONFERENCE LOGISTICS
Moving into his second year studying Politics and International Relations at the University of Bath, Alistair is passionate about everything MUN. After first trying it at Sixth-Form he is now Bath University MUN Society Vice-Chair. Alistair's love of Model UN comes from the love of the hypothetical, racking up 1000s of hours in simulation and management focused videogames. Which is why you'll find his passion highest when stuck in a Crisis cabinet. When not doing MUN you will usually find him asleep or chairing the university's Rounders society.
CEYLA BAŞKAN
UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS
Ceyla is a first-year Economics student from Turkey. After joining the Junior MUN club in 8th grade, she has been involved with MUN in all aspects. Outside of MUN, she enjoys reading, listening to 70s-90s music and obsessing over cats. She can’t wait to meet everyone at BathMUN 2025! (:
JOSH ROGERS
UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL OF INTERNAL RELATIONS
Josh is in his first year proper of his PhD in mechanical engineering at the University of Bath. He began his MUN career last year, but has since attended and chaired conferences across the UK and further afield. He also stood as the Training Officer for the BathMUN society. Outside of Model UN, you can find him trying to better his barista skills (emphasis on the word trying), rambling across the Somerset countryside, or applying for another quiz show to go on. Finally, he is an absolute die-hard fan of Eurovision, so if you’re a Eurofan reading this, he looks forward to hearing from you!
ZAYAAN MOHAMED
UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL OF FINANCE
Coming from the Maldives, Zayaan is heading into his second year studying BSc Economics with Politics at the University of Bath. Since discovering MUN in his first year of studies, he quickly immersed himself in the world of diplomacy, going on to do 5 conferences across multiple committees with his personal favourite being the UNEP.
Outside committee rooms and courseworks, Zayaan loves to go on walks through the scenic routes in Bath and loves bowling with friends. He also enjoys an occasional game of chess.
ROHAN SUDHAMAN
UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL OF MARKETING
Rohan is a third-year student from Hong Kong, studying Politics and International Relations. Since arriving in the UK for university in 2023, he's represented Bath at 13 different conferences and served on BathMUN's Secretariat twice.
Outside of MUN, he can be found practicing and choreographing latin, ballroom or tap dance, buying vinyl records or supporting Everton FC.
MATAO MACGOEY
CRISIS DIRECTOR
Matao is a third-year student studying physics at the University of Bath. He has been involved in MUN since 2019, having attended around 20 conferences at high-school and university level. This will be his second time serving on the BathMUN secretariat, having been the Crisis Director for BathMUN 2024.
NONO THE DUCK
UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL OF DUCK
Inspired by the many ducks roaming the fountain at the University of Bath, Nono was born out of a former society chair's humour and a desire for a mascot. Nono thrives on the rampant energy of debate and enjoys a good apocalypse in the crisis room.
Nono is well known for his many friends across the circuit, include Stag the Deer from SotonMUN, Luna the Lion at King's College and Djungelskog the Bear from Exeter.
