Sofia Little is a second year Global Studies and Sociology major from Palo Alto, CA (and has a Bay Area superiority complex because of this). She has been doing Model UN since her freshman year of high school and fell in love with the debate and discussion of international diplomacy, which drove her to continue into college. Outside of MUN, you can catch Sofia at the scene shop building sets for the school productions, reading at the beach and drinking boba/coffee. After graduation, Sofia hopes to join the Peace Corps, hoping it will be life-altering and help her figure out what she wants to do for the rest of her life.

My name is Estrella Alcaraz and I am a first-year Political Science Major from Sun Valley, C.A.
This is my first time doing MUN and what drove me to do it was my interest in public speaking
and debate. My favorite hobbies include reading, exercising, and baking. After college I hope to work in government as a public policy analyst and eventually become a Congresswoman for my community.

Kate is a first-year political science major with an interest in pursuing international law, who is excited to serve as the Director of Logistics for GauchoMUN XV! She joined this wonderful team a couple months ago, and her love for the activity and its members has only grown. Outside of MUN, you can catch Kate studying in the library, engrossed in a book or the next docuseries, climbing a tree, spending time with her best friends, and eating brownie brittle. All at once. She also really loves her dog Hazel and will show you a picture of her at any chance she gets.
