Welcome all to UC Santa Barbara Model United Nations SBI XVI!

      I am a third year Model UN member as well as UCSB junior double-majoring in Political Science and History of

Public Policy and Law. I am from a city called Sun Valley located in the San Fernando Valley,

CA. I am excited to be taking on this position as Secretary-General, Model UN was the first

extracurricular I became involved in here at UCSB, since then I have participated in various

other activities such as the advancement in Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity from a member

to a cabinet member and now their External Vice President. I have additionally pursued a

consecutive internship with our Campus Sustainability department and now serve as a climate

ambassador.

      My personal and academic interests are what has allowed me to grow further in this

organization and I have made some of my closest friends to date because of Model UN. I enjoy

political theory and have developed more recently an interest in immigration politics. In my free

time I adventure through the recreation center which is UCSB’s gym and I destress by finishing

off every exercise with a HIIT workout on the stairmaster. I am a strong advocate for self-care

and so I journal and love to spend time sun-bathing on grassy lawns. I hope that your

delegation's trip to UCSB is memorable and breathtaking, our committees have been especially

selected and curated to fit the diverse and intellectual taste of every delegate attending.

      I believe that SBI XVI will be a conference to remember, from our beachfront views to

our incredible live music, UCSB and Isla Vista have so much to offer as a destination spot. Not

to mention your ability to compete in an intercollegiate conference at the same time! I look

forward to seeing you all this November.

Best regards,

Estrella A Alcaraz Muñoz
