Rita Lin

Head Chair

Greetings, delegates! My name is Rita Lin, a senior at Hsinchu International Academy, and it is my utmost honor to serve as your chair of GA1 at this year's HIMUN conference. My MUN journey has been a crucial part of my academic and personal growth, deepening my love for debate and collaboration. What began as a curiosity quickly became a passion, one that taught me valuable skills in negotiation, leadership, and critical thinking. Beyond the debates and resolution drafting, I’ve also made many inspiring friends along the way.
I truly hope that each of you finds the same joy and fulfillment in your MUN journey. Whether it is your first or tenth conference, I highly encourage each one of you to speak up. I’m excited to witness your insightful discussions and confident public speaking skills during the conference. It will surely be a memorable learning experience!
Beyond MUN, I’m always blasting rap music, cafe-hopping in search of the best matcha latte and basque cheesecake, shopping for clothes I probably don’t need, and indulging in my love for Mexican food (tacos and quesadillas are my weakness). If you know any great places around, I’m always down for a good meal and conversation.
Lastly, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions! Can’t wait to see y'all in March!

Gary Oliver

Co - Chair

I am Gary Oliver, a junior at Morrison Academy Taichung. I will be your Co-Chair for General Assembly 1 at HIMUN X. I started my MUN journey in 7th grade at HIS and continued throughout 8th grade. However, when I transferred to Morrison, I only started attending conferences when I was a sophmore, since the MUN program at Morrison was only just starting. I have attended 6 conferences as a delegate and this will be my first time as a chair in a MUN conference. Outside of school, I love to run, game and play the piano. I hope that I can be able to make this conference a fun experience for all the delegates.
