Alex was exposed to Model UN at Harvard, and has since been hooked on international relations conferences. At HMUN, she is in charge of conference finances and couldn’t be happier, as she loves accounting and plans to go into business after college. In her free time, she enjoys reading the news, watching Jersey Shore, and going through receipts. Email Alex at comptroller@harvardmun.org.

Though born in Tianjin, China, she has spent most of her life in one of the coldest capitals in the world–Ottawa. New England, with its “milder winters,” has lowered her tolerance to the cold. With a passion for international relations, Sofia quickly became involved in MUN activities after entering college, staffing both the substantive and executive sides.
