When I first joined the MUN charter at my school, I instantly fell in love with the club and all the conferences we attended.

Undersecretary General of Delegate Relations

Hi, my name is Navbir Singh, and I am currently a senior at Hillsborough High school. I first started my MUN journey in my sophomore year and my experiences at FHSMUN and GatorMUN were ones I’ll never forget. The long days of debate straight into the late nights talking with friends make MUN what it is and why I continue to love it to this day. The idea of providing everyone with the opportunity to do MUN is something I stand strongly with and it’s the reason why I had no hesitation in helping to create TampaBayMUN.

Hi everyone, I’m Chetan Dasari, and I’m a senior at Hillsborough High. I have been in MUN for three years now and have participated in multiple unforgettable conferences like GatorMun. The hours of debating topics that end up nowhere is my favorite part of MUN. I always wanted to be part of a non-school related organization and BayMUN reached out to me, The idea of helping create something that’s going to outlive my schooling has always been a goal of mine. Outside of TBM, I do swim, coding, FBLA, and etc. Also, just remember, if something goes wrong with TampaBayMUN, it’s probably my fault.
