Advancing Technology and Education Access Across the Commonwealth Nations

Joshua Pham

Chair

A senior student studying at Burnaby North Secondary School, looking forward to retirement. Joshua Pham is pleased to act as Chair for CommonWealth at Spamun. Almost 4 years in the making, Joshua’s Model United Nations career has allowed him to freely express his love for social studies and put his networking skills to the test. He found himself beyond engaging in well-mannered debates, but rather forming core memories and strong friendships with those who were once strangers. It became evident that Model UN will be one of Joshua’s core pillars in high school. When not in formal attire in the committee room, Joshua usually gets himself lost on internet rabbit-holes, annoying his friends with the same dragged-on joke, and struggling to get a job. Nonetheless, Joshua encourages everyone to step out of their comfort zone, but most importantly, valuable experiences in Spamun 2025.

Marco Zhang

Director

As a sophomore at St. George’s School, Marco is honoured to serve as the Director of the Commonwealth at SPAMUN 2025. Ever since walking into his first conference in seventh grade, clueless yet curious about the world of Model United Nations, he has grown to admire every aspect of Model UN. The collaboration, audacity, and passion of MUN delegates have truly captivated Marco in this pursuit. From the late nights spent with friends to the outrageous speeches made in Crisis, Marco has found MUN to be a pivotal experience throughout his high school journey. Outside of MUN, you can find Marco strolling around Kerrisdale, or at a restaurant sharing a laugh with friends. He wishes all delegates the best of luck in preparation, and looks forward to meeting everyone soon!

Myla Sangha

Assistant Director

Going into her grade 9 year at Southpointe Academy, Myla Sangha is extremely excited to take on the role of assistant director at SPAMUN 2025! Through each MUN conference Myla has attended she has grown not only in her skills for public speaking but in her passion to solve global crises. Her experience has strengthened her confidence as a delegate and to think outside the box when it comes to problem solving. Stepping into this new role, she is excited to help other delegates engage in riveting debate. Outside of MUN, Myla can be found playing roblox late at night, practicing her flute or competing in rhythmic gymnastics!
