 Hello everyone,  My name is Jalen Gelb and I will be one of your vice chairs for the Press Corps Committee.  I am a Junior from Los Angeles, studying political science and interdisciplinary studies.  In addition to being one of your vice chairs, I am also in charge of all media-related content for all of BMUN; so if I have a camera in my hand at conference, its not just because we are in the press corps committee...  Outside of BMUN I enjoy running, swimming, going to concerts, watching Curb Your Enthusiasm , and baking.  I look forward to seeing you all on BMUN weekend! *this is me in 10th grade in Berkeley when I went to  BMUN! *how I look when I brush my teeth now
