Through... leadership experiences, she acknowledges that a strong community is essential for success and always encourages others to engage actively throughout society. She is inspired daily by her family and friends, who continuously motivate and support her. In Maika's free time, she loves exploring the outdoors, going for coffee with friends and baking.

Isaac La Roy is a first-year student studying Political Science as his major and Business as his minor at the University of Victoria. He has been active in the Model UN community for over 7 years, and somehow still loves it! Having attended over 25 conferences and being a part of many more, he cannot wait until we can meet in person once again to talk MUN. In his free time, Isaac officiates hockey, plays video games and watches sports with friends and family. As your Minister of Education, he promises to do everything he can to educate new members on Model UN practices. The club is currently producing a MUN 101 video series to teach people new to MUN how it works. If you are thinking of joining and really do not know what it entails, watch out for these videos! They should help you out a lot.
