About the Chair

She was born in Rockville, Maryland and lived in Bangalore, India for four years before moving back to Maryland. Romita attended Winston Churchill High School in Potomac, Maryland and joined her high school’s Model UN team as a sophomore. She has stayed involved with the MUN community ever since. Although she no longer competes, she has staffed conferences at Georgetown since her freshman year. Romita was honored to serve as the Executive Director of the 61st North American Invitational Model United Nations (NAIMUN LXI) this past year, NCSC’s sister conference for high school students. She is thrilled to be chairing NCSC LII’s Ad-Hoc General Assembly committee alongside her former co-executive, Daniel. Outside of MUN, Romita has worked at the U.S. Department of Commerce and spent the Spring 2024 semester in Buenos Aires, Argentina conducting research on the 2001 Argentine socioeconomic crisis. She also works with Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) to build transnational campaigns centered on AIUSA priorities in the Southern Cone. In her free time, Romita enjoys playing the flute, swimming, watching A24 movies, and making the best hot sandwiches. She is deeply passionate about using Model UN as a tool to engage with global issues and develop critical skills, and is thrilled to welcome delegates this fall to an environment where they are  encouraged to do so. 

About the Chair

Daniel Wachman is a member of the class of 2025 in the Georgetown University College of Arts & Sciences, where he is majoring in Government and minoring in Chinese. A proud lifelong resident of Sharon, Massachusetts, Daniel has been involved with Model UN since he joined his high school’s club in ninth grade. Earlier this year, he completed his tenure as the Secretary-General of NAIMUN LXI, Georgetown’s MUN conference for high schoolers, which he will undoubtedly talk about in committee. Daniel is also a tutor at Georgetown’s Writing Center and a volunteer for Hoya Taxa, which helps low-income D.C. families file their taxes. In his free time, Daniel loves “studying” with his friends in the library, maintaining his Duolingo streak (which will be over 2,000 days long at NCSC!), and working through his ever-growing Letterboxd watchlist. This will be Daniel’s third and final NCSC, after serving as director of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development at NCSC 50 and co-chair of the Food and Agricultural Organization at NCSC LI. He is beyond excited to return to the Hilton with his friend and former NAIMUN co-executive Romita to guide delegates through the world of [REDACTED] in the Ad hoc General Assembly!
