Advaith Shyam
Advaith Shyam is a sophomore at Eastlake High School and is delighted to be a Co-Director of CSTD for EverMUN 2024. Advaith was first introduced to the MUNnderful world of Model United Nations as a freshman. It paved the way for him to delve deeper as he quickly got the hang of the ins and outs of MUN. Whether debating as a delegate or furiously typing background guides as a staff member, Advaith loves all aspects of MUN. Advaith’s favorite MUN memory was from KINGMUN 2023, where his meeting room was invaded by dozens of press members armed with glow sticks during an important government crisis meeting. Apart from his MUN avatar, you can find Advaith trying to become a maestro at the piano and violin or trying not to lose balance while fencing. In addition, Advaith is a multi-linguist (4 languages) and he also loves movies, talking nonstop about them. Advaith welcomes everyone to EverMUN 2024 and can’t wait for delegates to create precious new memories.
Sri Sistla
Sri is a sophomore at Eastlake High School and is ecstatic to be serving as the co-director for CSTD for the 2024 iteration of EverMUN. He started his MUN journey two years ago and has developed from a delegate scared to speak in front of committee to growing into an active member in the intricate community that is MUN. Outside of MUN conferences, you can find Sri either playing the saxophone or making yet another absolute banger of a playlist. He cannot wait to welcome delegates to CSTD and is eager to help EverMUN be its best iteration yet!
