Introduction: Maia Hernandez

Hello, delegates!

My name is Maia Hernandez (she/her), and I'll be your guys' head chair for the BMUN LXXII Berkeley Venture Capital (BVC) committee!

I'm a current sophomore and a Public Health major, and I'm particularly interested in medicine and patenting. My academic interests also similarly align with our topic: improving healthcare accessibility. My MUN experience started when I was a sophomore in high school, and I've been involved with BMUN ever since then—both as a delegate and a chair. Last year, I served as a vice chair for BMUN's World Biopharmaceutical Forum (WBF), and I'm excited to have you all as my first committee as a head chair. 

Outside of BMUN, I'm a part of the Philipinx American Alliance (PAA) club, AFX Dance, as well as the Undergraduate Street Medicine Outreach (USMO). Whenever I have free time, I love to go on road trips to the beach with my friends, paddleboard/surf, and make balloon animals.

Thank you so much for spending your weekend here at Berkeley, and please reach out to me and my dais at any time at bvcbmun72@bmun.org. We look forward to seeing you soon!


Best,

Maia Hernandez
Head Chair of BVC, BMUN 72

Tips for Solutions

  Hi delegates! As BMUN grows nearer, I wanted to offer some advice on your solutions and what our dais expects for committee!  Before diving into the different types of business approaches we are hoping to see in committee, I wanted to take this opportunity to revisit our learning goals and expectations for research in hopes that your solutions end up addressing these key points: Does your business address at least one of the five dimensions of healthcare accessibility (availability, accessibility, affordability, accommodations, acceptability)? Is your business actually feasible? If you were to implement this in the real world, would it be able to uphold after the initial funding from the dais? What makes your business different from its competitors? What makes it unique? Is your business profitable? Please keep these learning goals in mind when forming solutions! They are key points we want you to address!  Need stepping off points to start thinking about ideas? Start ...

Introduction: Nadine Kei Inara

 Greetings delegates! I'm Nadine Kei Inara (she/her) and I'm so excited to be your vice chair for the BMUN LXXII Berkeley Venture Capital committee :) I'm currently a first-year planning to study Data Science and Economics, and I'm particularly interested in bridging socio-economic disparities through raising human capital, which ties into our topic of improving healthcare accessibility. My MUN journey has taken me to international conferences as a delegate, a chair and also led me to become a Secretary-General of my own conference, gifting me with friendships and memories I'll always cherish along the way. Aside from being a vice chair, I'm also a part of BMUN's Outreach staff this year. Apart from BMUN, I am a part of the Berkeley Indonesian Student Association, where I can contribute to creating a home away from home for my fellow Indonesians at Berkeley. I love writing songs, singing while playing instruments, and exploring new dessert places. Looking fo...
