Chairs
Luke Harris
NATO, Head Chair |
This is Luke and it’s his pleasure to be your head chair for NATO at SWMUN2020. Luke has been doing MUN for 7 years now and charing for 4 (which is scary for him to say as it make him think he needs to actually do something with his life :). He is a 3rd year undergraduate at the University of Reading studying ‘War, Peace and International Relations’. When he isn’t at Uni or doing MUN, he fills his time by filling his brain with lots of useless information from YouTube, or he can be found doing various boat-y things as a Midshipman (O1) in the Royal Naval Reserve. Most recently he was deployed to the Baltic on NATO’s Ex BALTOPS and various other Baltic activities. When this (university) is all over, he hopes to join the Metropolitan Police Service. He hopes you enjoy the weekend’s debate and find it fruitful and inspiring.

Helena Granik
NATO, Deputy Chair |
Helena is a final year Modern Languages student at the University of Exeter. Last year, while on exchange at Université Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV), she decided to take her MUN skills up a notch. Her MUN career has since taken her around Europe and the Middle East as well as the UK. She is also the recipient of the coveted Diplomacy Award at London International Model United Nations 2019, Internal Training Officer at the University of Exeter Model United Nations Society, blog contributor to HelpmyMUN.com and a member of the HamMUN 2019 Academics Team.
Helena attended her first conference at HamMUN 2018, where she was the Delegate of Afghanistan in the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. She was inspired by the chairs and this positive experience turned Model UN from an on-and-off side activity to something she decided to try again more seriously. As a Chair, Helena hopes to similarly enrich others’ MUN journey. Outside MUN, Helena is a not-so-closet Harry Potter and MARVEL fan and an avid reader of all things to do with International Relations, Soviet identity, and Soviet and Post-Soviet foreign policy. She has appeared on student TV as a political commentator and interned in the British Government as a Civil Servant. She also speaks three languages fluently and has even hosted two radio programmes: one on French Pop and the other on Acoustic Hits of the 90s. Playlists are available upon request |
