BMUN LXX AL

Hi everyone! My name is Incia Haider and I will be serving as one of the vice-chairs in the Arab League committee for BMUN's 70th conference! I am currently a fourth year undergraduate student at Berkeley majoring in both Global Studies and Political Economy. Within the Global Studies major, my focus is on peace and conflict in the Middle East/North Africa region, and my Political Economy concentration is on global development and inequality.

I was born in Sydney, Australia, and grew up there for eight years before immigrating to Jakarta, Indonesia, which I now call home. I'm a big fan of Formula 1, a competitive swimmer, a major advocate of good Phở and an avid traveler of going to San Francisco at unnatural AM hours.  Joining MUN in high school was one of the best decisions of my life, I got the chance to not only travel Indonesia but also travel across Asia too. Besides getting to travel, it gave me a place to meet new friends and most importantly develop new, valuable academic skills.
