Saanvi Agarwal
Saanvi is an eighth grader at Evergreen Middle School and is elated to be serving as your co-director of UNEP! Saanvi started her MUN journey in sixth grade, when she chose to go to MUN over Wild Waves (and she’s glad she did), and was pulled into the fabulous world of debate, chaotic un-moderated caucuses, and foreign affairs. She has only become more passionate about MUN as time goes on and loves everything about the unique experience! Outside of MUN, Saanvi can be found grinding LA/SS homework, speedrunning robotics, annoying her friends, playing the violin, reading, blasting Taylor Swift music, and obsessively drinking bubble tea. Saanvi is thrilled to engage in debate with every delegate and hopes to make tons of new memories!
Shivali Panda
Shivali is a sophomore at Lake Washington High School and is ecstatic to serve as your co-director for UNEP at EverMUN 2024! Shivali joined the wonderful world of MUN during her freshman year, she was introduced to the world of debate and was pulled into a rabbit hole of conferences. Shivali’s MUN journey has seen its twists and turns but she’s found her passion of public speaking and debate to be pleasantly satisfied. Outside of MUN, Shivali can be seen doing homework or playing the guitar. Shivali hopes to show all the delegates of UNEP the pleasures of MUN this year!
