Yara Bhaloo (she/her) is a second-year student at the University of Miami, double-majoring in Advertising and Gender Studies. Originally from Toronto, Canada, she began her Model UN journey as President of her high school club and has since staffed collegiate conferences. She is delighted to serve as SG of Crisis Committees for this year’s 305MUN.

Beyond MUN, Yara is a member of the varsity rowing team, a spin instructor at the Miami Herbert Wellness Centre, an executive board member of PERIOD, and a Foote Fellowship Honours Society mentor. She also conducts independent research within the Department of Modern Literature.

In her free time, Yara is probably rewatching Sex and the City for the millionth time, trying out a new fitness class, or soaking up the Miami sun by the ocean. She swears teaching spin and binge-watching Carrie Bradshaw somehow balances each other out.

Yara looks forward to seeing delegates thrive in their crisis committees at 305MUN. Feel free to reach out at yxb414@miami.edu with any questions.
