SOUTHMUN 2026 Secretariat Staff
Meet Our Team!
Dasha Puzankov
Secretary General
dashpuz@gmail.com
Entering Model UN as 10th grader stuttering through a speech about borders, to leaving it a 12th grader stuttering- hopefully less- through welcoming speeches, Dasha is immensely proud to serve Southmun 2026 as Secretary- General. From Calgary to Vancouver, every last conference, committee, debate, and position paper have been invaluable. Through Model UN she has strengthened  her confidence, sharpened her skills in verbal battle, and connected with so many amazing people. Beyond the committee room Dasha enjoys larping as a philosopher (reading slightly pretentious books), hurling herself off of mountains with sticks on her feet (skiing), and desecrating canvas with oil (painting). Her hope for delegates coming to SouthMUN is that they continue to challenge themselves, and meet like minded people passionate about global issues.

She was seen for the last month keeping herself alive with redbull and regretting every procrastination fueled life choices she made. Model UN, from when she joined as a grade 10 and to Chief of Staff at SouthMUN, Something that started as an unfamiliar extracurricular provided her with experience that challenged her perspectives and built lasting friendships. As SouthMUN 2026 approaches, she is excited to make the best of her last SouthMUN experience, make unforgettable memories, and to finally get a full night of sleep.
