Parnika Chaturvedi
co-chair parnika02chaturvedi@gmail.comParnika is currently a humanities student in Delhi Private School, Sharjah. Aspiring to one day stand amongst the esteemed delegates of the United Nations Human Rights Council, she wishes to acquire a law degree. She could be described as one, with adroitness in leadership, willing to speak her mind and enthusiastic about connecting with new people. MUNs continue to play an integral role in her student life. It has not just refined her public-speaking skills but also has provided her with the opportunity to encounter various issues and enlighten others and her with possible resolutions on an international level. She believes that Model UN helps one grow into a leader, discover their future, become confident in their self, provide one a platform to endorse their self into the pressing matters of the global society and form lasting friendships with people. In addition to public speaking, she adores dancing, reading, and often writing poems. She hopes her work as co-chair makes the AUDMUN’19 an enlightening and memorable experience for all the delegates.
