Greetings delegates!
My name is Justin Ricketts and I am so excited to serve as your director for the Warsaw Pact Committee at this year’s HMUN! I am a sophomore at Harvard, concentrating in both Neuroscience and English (and/or possibly with a secondary in Global Health & Health Policy) as a Pre-Med. I come from Lake Worth, Florida (about an hour north of Miami), so as you can imagine, I’m still adjusting to the Boston winters.
My first experience with Model UN came as I randomly chose to join Harvard’s Model UN team my freshman spring, and I haven’t looked back since. Beyond Model UN, I love books and music more than anything. Reading has been hard recently, but I am still on my phone at 12:00 AM every Friday morning to listen to every song that has been released (especially in love with Daniel Caesar, Frank Ocean, SZA, Kendrick…the list goes on and I could talk about music for hours so I’m stopping myself here). Truthfully, I’m a chronically-online, recovering/former theater kid, who loves word games (my Wordle streak is still going strong).
When it comes to committee, I hope this will be a unique, thrilling, and memorable experience for all of us. I value, in myself and others, creativity above most, so I’m excited to see which of many paths we will fall on, as I hope you all are. The future is now, delegates, so be ready for the ride of your life.
See you soon,
Justin Ricketts
