She has over six years of active participation as a delegate and staffer in Model UN conferences under her belt. Beyond academics and MUN, she enjoys playfully dissecting every "easter egg" Taylor Swift leaves for her fans and exploring East Lansing's culinary scene with her best friend, aiming to savor as many restaurants as possible before graduation.

RJ was never able to participate in Model UN as a high schooler as they come from the great (but small) state of Wyoming but is so excited to be able to provide that opportunity for high schoolers all over Michigan and can't wait to welcome you all to campus!
