Core Four

Sanjay
Rajesh

Secretary-General

(he/him)

  • Sanjay Rajesh is a member of Georgetown’s College of Arts and Sciences Class of 2028, studying government with a minor in Law, Justice, and Society. Originally from the rainy, dreary, yet still superior city of Seattle, he first got indoctrinated involved in Model UN when he got to college, travelling with GUMUN to conferences across the East Coast. After staffing both NCSC and NAIMUN, he stumbled his way into being the USG for Councils last year, and now is your Secretary General for NCSC LIV. When he’s not gone every weekend for a MUN trip, you can often see him getting iced coffee from Midnight Mug in the depths of night, or playing board games with his friends (which he always wins). Equipped with his Seahawks merch (SUPERBOWL!), maroon fits, and general whimsy, Sanjay is so excited to see all the delegates return to the best version of NCSC yet. Model UN has become his family here at Georgetown, and he hopes that every delegate can leave with a new memory or friend from their time here in DC.

    Sanjay is incredibly excited and grateful to serve as your Secretary General for this NCSC, and cannot wait to meet you come this fall :)

Maria Razborova

Executive Director

(she/her)

  • Maria Razborova is a proud member of the Walsh School of Foreign Service Class of 2028, where she studies International Politics and Security with a minor in French. Originally from downtown Chicago, Maria was first introduced to Model UN as a freshman in high school, competing at NAIMUN on Zoom. She went on to be an avid (and very competitive) LabMUN delegate for the rest of high school, but turned to the Executive side of Model UN conferences, serving as the Director of Business Development for NCSC LIII. On an average day, you’ll find her ambitiously trying to read 100 pages in half an hour, drafting mass emails, or designing promotional material for non-profit organizations. In her freetime, you will most likely find her going on a monologue about human nature or her world theories, writing unwitty Letterboxd reviews, roaming an art gallery, or practicing a piano sonata. 

    Maria is honored to serve as your Executive Director for NCSC LIV, and is looking forward to welcoming you to Washington, DC this fall! 

Matthew Lewis

Chief of Staff

(he/him)

  • Matthew Lewis is a member of the Walsh School of Foreign Service class of 2028, studying International Political Economy. He calls the stunning Chicago suburb of Vernon Hills home where he developed his dedication to MUN and his midwestern hospitality. He is excited to serve as your Chief of Staff for NCSC LIV building upon his tenure as Director of Operations for NCSC LIII and various positions in NAIMUN and DistrictMUN. Outside of MUN he takes the “security” part of NCSC very seriously as a member of the Hoya Battalion Army ROTC program, Georgetown Bipartisan Coalition, and a tenured bassist with the Georgetown Jazz Combo and his band “The Candidates.”
    Matthew is excited to bleed NCSC red with his non-Halloween-impeded staffers!

Outside of the Model UN world, Isabelle is a member of the Georgetown Eating Society (a club dedicated to her favorite thing in the world) where she gets to try restaurants across DC with her friends. She loves running, coffee runs to Blank Street, going to the beach (not necessarily easy in this area), listening to music, and watching a ten season long TV series.

Kareem Nasr

Under-Secretary-General of Joint-Crisis

(he/him)

  • Kareem Nasr is a student in Georgetown’s College of Arts and Sciences Class of 2029, where he is unsure of what to major in at the moment, but trust, he has his life figured out. Model UN is fairly new to him, with limited exposure in middle and high school but has fully immersed himself in GUMUN and the collegiate circuit since college – previously staffing both NCSC and NAIMUN. Though he is from Westchester, NY, he insists that he does not live upstate, but the many NYC Georgetown students are raining on that parade a bit. With 2 other Secretariat members, Kareem is also a part of Georgetown’s Eating Society,  where he travels to many restaurants across DC with friends – a fitting hobby for someone labelled “Fatreem” by the previous NCSC SG (delegates don't even think about it). He is also on Georgetown’s Club Water Polo team, where he struggles to stay afloat while gaslighting himself that he is athletic but nonetheless he tries. He loves going out with friends, listening to music, trying new things, and is so excited to be the USG of JCC this NCSC !
    He will ask you what your favorite organ is during NCSC and will frown if JCC is not your answer (Double to love in a JCC, duh). See you all in the fall!

Kee Hung Giam

Director General

(he/him)

  • Kee Hung (often called Kenneth or Kenny G) is a member of Georgetown’s Walsh School of Foreign Service majoring in International Economics from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Jakarta, Indonesia. Home is hence a 26 hour journey away; one of the strangest ways Kenneth combats his homesickness is to hop around DC in search of Southeast Asian food, policy, and social events. He travels with Georgetown’s Model UN team (soon retiring!), and has resigned himself to being the brunt of the team’s jokes. He previously served as Under-Secretary-General of Assemblies & Specialized for NCSC LIII, and currently directs research at the Washington Forum on India and consults for small businesses in the DMV area. In his freetime, you may find him at Satay Club, his favorite restaurant in DC, conversing in any one of the 6 languages he speaks, many of which are admittedly useless outside of Southeast Asia (please speak to him in Cantonese or Indonesian, he will be indescribably happy).
    Kenneth is honored to return to NCSC as Director General, and can’t wait to welcome you to Washington, D.C!

While she no longer competes, she has continued her dedication to MUN with Georgetown’s many conferences, including NCSC, NAIMUN, and DistrictMUN. Outside of committee, Keira can be found advocating with the College Democrats or engaging with Hoyas for Humans Rights and Georgetown Students for Prison Justice. Whenever she is not curled up in a corner of Lauinger Library, she is scouring the DC area for Cuban bakeries or looking for an excuse to go to Raising Cane’s. She simply cannot wait to see her favorite band, 5 Seconds of Summer, in August –

    or to meet all of you in November as NCSC LIV’s Director of Delegate Affairs!

Aubrey Miller

Director of Philanthropy

Outside of MUN, Aubrey is an intern at the Georgetown University Alumni and Student Federal Credit Union, a consultant for Georgetown Global Consulting, and a tour guide on campus through Blue and Gray.

Lucy continued her involvement with MUN conference management at Georgetown, serving on the Chief of Staff team for NCSC LIII and as the Director of the World Bank General Assembly (alongside an unprecedented appointment as Crisis Analyst for the Joint Crisis Committee on German Reunification, 1989) for NAIMUN LXIII. Outside of Model UN, Lucy can be found pulling late nights in The Hoya newsroom on Wednesday and Thursday evenings laying A10, A11, A12 as Senior Design Editor. It’s a never-ending joke that she lives on the third floor (attic) of the Alumni House on 3604 O St NW, because she’s too-often spotted dialing alumni in the GU Engagement Center to provide a personal connection back to the Hilltop and fundraise for the Georgetown Fund. In her spare time, Lucy enjoys leveling-up her Thunderbird and Hungarian Horntail in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, golfing with friends, and running.
    Lucy is honored to serve as NCSC’s Director of Business Development and welcome you all to the Washington Hilton this fall!

Involved in Model UN since her sophomore year in high school, she made it her priority to work with GUMUN the second she came to Georgetown. As such, she is a part of their travel team, and is involved in a plethora of GIRC & GIRA programs, including NCSC LIII. Outside of the International Relations sphere, Joellaine is a member of BRAVE’s Media Team, advocates in Hoyas for Immigrant Rights, and has lobbied policy with youth advocacy groups, all while working towards French fluency (elle y arrivera). She’s also a huge JJBA fan, ask her about the star on the back of her left shoulder! When she has free time, you can find her drawing, obsessing over Tyler, The Creator, volunteering for circuit court judges, or staring at her iPad in Lauinger Library (she swears she’s taking care of business, but talk to her and find out).
    Joellaine is excited to spend her birthday weekend as your Director of Programming this year!

Camryn is from the lively Las Vegas valley, where she co-founded her high school’s Model UN team and has been competing for the last 5 years, now as a delegate for GUMUN.
