Teegan Moran
Teegan Moran is the president of the disarmament committee. He is currently a junior, attending his fifth year at American School of Valencia. Previously he lived in San Francisco, California, a place of innovation and modernity, yet he was first introduced to The Model United Nations program when living in Spain. He was instantly hooked on the debate, the public speeching, and the butterflies approaching the podium. Since then, he has participated in many conferences, such as but not limited to (MUN joke); VALMUN, SMUN, BCNMUN, MADMUN, THIMUN. These conferences have made Teegan the debater that he is today, they have given him the public speeching skills necessary to thrive while speaking to large scale audiences, but most importantly, they have given him the social skills which have allowed him to form meaningful relationships with people that he has met along his MUN journey. Teegan’s philosophy about MUN is simple, a very limited amount of delegates who participate in MUN will actually work for The United Nations in the future, that being said, he believes that a conference should allow delegates to practice their public speaking withing fear, and socialize without anxiety, this way delegates will aquire life long skills embeded in their character, that will live long after their time with MUN has elapsed. Teegan believes that, as the president of the disarmament committee, it is his responsibility to make it a safe space where these skills can be practiced, and fluid debate can occur.
