Hi Delegates! My name is Annalise Fox and I will be a head chair for UNICEF this year! I am currently senior at UC Berkeley majoring in Global Studies and minoring in Early Learning & Development Science, Public Policy, and Education. I have been doing MUN now for 8 years and have loved every minute! I hope to give you guys as a great of an experience as I had as a delegate when I went to BMUN. On campus, aside from BMUN, I work with Americorps as a teacher at a Head Start preschool for children under the poverty line in Oakland and as a Teacher's Assistant at the Berkeley Early Childhood Education Program. I am also a Research Assistant in the Zhou Family and Culture Lab currently researching the impact of being bilingual on socio-emotional development.   Outside of school I love baking, birdwatching, crocheting, and watching hockey. I'm also an avid hiker and hope to soon visit all the national parks (I only have 9 left woo!). I can't wait to see you all at BMUN 68!
