Meet The Secretariat
Marisol Godbille-Cardona, Secretary-General
Meet Marisol (she/her), our amazing Secretary General. From the charming village of Saint-Genis near the Franco-Swiss border, she is now in her final year at McGill, studying Political Science and Anthropology. When she’s not busy overseeing the ins and outs of the conference, you might spot her relaxing at the G-Store on campus, likely enjoying an NPR podcast and her go-to treat: a slice of carrot cake. Off campus, she’s a familiar face at the Caffetteria Coffee Shop, where the staff affectionately refer to her as a “star.” Be sure to say hi when you see her around during the conference!
Frances Parish, Chargée d’Affaires
If you enjoy admiring the beautiful view at Beaver Lake or frolicking through Jeanne Mance Park, you might run into the incredible Chargée d’Affaires, Frances Parish (she/her), on her outdoor adventures! Returning from exchange at Edinburgh University, Frances is a fourth-year history student with a minor in international development. From staffer, to operations coordinator to Chargée of our sister conference SSUNS, Frances has seen McGill’s MUN conferences from every angle. Master camper and Excel wizard Frances can survive the most hostile conditions. Don’t be afraid to say hi or ask her anything — she’s always happy to help, especially if there’s a spreadsheet involved!
Inès Wolff, Undersecretary-General: Committee Affairs
Next up is the lovely Under-Secretary General of Committees for McMUN 2026, Inès Wolff (she/her)! Originally from Vancouver and Paris, Inès is a U3 student in International Development. Fluent in English and French (and a self-declared CV-level Spanish speaker), she brings international flair, sharp wit, and a love for all things cross-cultural to the McMUN team. Fashion diva at heart, she also spends her time passionately defending Alpine’s honour in F1 debates, catching volleyball highlights, and flipping through a Molière play en français. Catch her at Solit Café catching up with friends, the Lachine Canal for summer strolls, and Parc Jean-Drapeau when festival season hits. And if you ask her where the best bar in the city is? No hesitation — it’s The Darling. If you bump into Inès at McMUN, you’ll love what she’s wearing, so be sure to ask her where she got her outfit from!
India Aim Bejaoui, Director of Equity
Introducing India Bejaoui (she/her), our amazing Director of Equity! She hails from Paris, though she also calls Tunis and Lisbon home. As such, she’s got many languages handy, so when you run into her at the Sheraton, feel free to test out your French, Portuguese or Spanish! At McGill, she is a U2 Honours Political Science student, also pursuing a Major in International Development Studies. Outside of school, India can be found swimming, reading, running, horse-riding or just generally chilling with friends and at cafes. A personal favourite of hers is Amea cafe, where she can be found at all hours during finals season. For plenty more recommendations on cafes or the best place to take a shot at ice-skating, direct all your questions to India, and you won’t be led astray.
Alice Chalaud, Chief of Staff
Next is our beloved Chief of Staff, Alice Chalaud (she/her)! Originally from Boston, raised in Montreal while somehow also holding four nationalities… (French, American, English and Canadian). Alice is a U4 student majoring in Political Science with a double minor in Communications and GSFS, and also a bilingual icon in French and English with just enough Spanish to complement a good thrifted fit. Outside of class, you will probably find Alice thrifting like it’s a competitive sport (village des valeurs is her precious baby), getting way too into board games, yelling at the TV during soccer and football games or biking around the city. You may also find her at Améa cafe or Cafe 92 pretending to study. What she calls “our local gems” include sunset drinks at Oratoire St Joseph, McKibbins (Bishop location ONLY), Next Door Pub and Jean Talon market (any day over Atwater). You already know you can find Alice at McMUN with a thrifted fit that’s worth complimenting.
Judy Zeng, Director of Public Relations
Meet Judy (she/her), our fearless director of Public Relations! Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Judy is in her final year at McGill studying Political Science and Statistics. She impressively speaks English, Mandarin and just enough French to order a coffee at some of her favourite study spots like Osmo or Amea Café! If you can’t find her at the Sheraton, it’s probably because she’s running down the Lachine Canal or has gone thrifting in Mile End. While you're in Montreal, she highly recommends checking out Atwater Cocktail Club or grabbing a bite at Mano Cornuto. Be sure not to miss Judy at McMUN so she can teach you how to order a coffee in French!
Tanguy Lacroix, Undersecretary-General: Finance
Introducing Tanguy (he/him), our incredible Under-Secretary General of Finance for McMUN 2026! Coming from Amsterdam and speaking both English and French, he is a third-year student studying economics and finance in the Faculty of Arts here at McGill. When he’s not crunching numbers, you can find him running, reading, or watching movies. He recommends going to St. Viateur Bagels to try a Montréal staple, as well as Bernie Beigne for a sweet treat. Come say hi if you see him at McMUN - if he’s not too busy doing taxes, of course.
John Miraglia, Chief of Operations
Holding it all together behind the scenes is John (he/him), our Chief of Operations for McMUN 2026! Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, John is a U3 Political Science student in the Faculty of Arts. During his free time from being the mastermind behind the logistics of the conference, you can find him playing any sort of sports, whether it be playing lacrosse for McGill or spikeball in Jeanne Mance. He also enjoys grilling or catching live music at McKibbin’s. For a local Montreal rec, John recommends Doubles, for the pool tables and the wings. Be sure to say hey to John at the conference!
Thomas Musumeci, Director of Events
Meet Thomas (he/him), the creative mind behind all of McMUN’s fantastic events as the Director of Events for McMUN 2026! A true New Englander from Woodstock, Connecticut, Thomas is in his fourth year at McGill as an International Development Studies student. When not busy with school or spending his time scrolling through TikTok, you can either catch him at a concert or DJing in a 365 McParté Girl shirt. If you need any insider tips on navigating Montréal, be sure to find Thomas around the Sheraton or at our events, and he’ll have you covered.
Ari Vogli, Deputy Undersecretary-General Committee Affairs: GAs & ECOSOCs
Introducing Ari (he/him), our iconic Deputy of GAs and ECOSOCs! Hailing from Paris, France (well, technically Ottawa, but he doesn’t count it), Ari is a U3 student completing a joint-honours degree in political science and history in the Faculty of Arts. When he isn’t catching the latest release at Cheap Movie Tuesdays or thrifting at the Value Village and Renaissance near the Olympic Stadium, Ari can be found under the sun with friends at Jeanne Mance Park or enjoying Montreal’s thriving DJ scene. He loves to indulge in gothic novels, pastries, and overpriced barista oat milk. Ari speaks English, French, and Albanian, and recommends that delegates try climbing Mont-Royal for the stunning view and visit the Dumpling Hut at any time of day or night!
Gillian Vetters, Deputy Undersecretary-General Committee Affairs: Specialized Committees
Meet your Deputy Specialized Committees, Gillian (she/her)! Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Gillian is now thriving in the heart of downtown Montreal as a second-year Political Science student at McGill! She speaks English and French (on a good day) and has mastered drinking black coffee (the only correct coffee to ever order –ever–) at Montreal’s finest cafés. Gillian spends her time reading pretentious classics (in the best way possible) and going on a long walk to find the perfect spot to dive into her book! Montréal essentials? The Brandy Melville on Saint-Catherine's is where most of her long walks end, and she would never miss Barbossa’s $8 cocktail nights. Find Gillian at McMUN with a steaming black coffee, and chat about Jane Austen–she’ll definitely drop a hot take:)
Helena Kennedy, Deputy Undersecretary-General Committee Affairs: Crises
Next up is our delightful deputy crisis, Helena Kennedy (she/her). Originally from Old Greenwich, Connecticut, and fluent in both English and Spanish, Helena has embraced everything Montreal has to offer, from scenic cafes for a warm cup of tea to pinball at North Star and a pint at Champs. She is in her second year pursuing a joint honours degree in political science and international development studies (but don’t remind her, especially when she’s on one of her procrastination side quests). She loves all things music, and can be found learning a new piece on the piano or simply listening to indie tracks the rest of us aren’t cool enough to have heard of (they’re, like, super underground). Helena can also be found watching old Monty Python sketches… that is, when she isn’t overseeing a backroom or dreaming up a crisis arc.
Ishita Kumar Deputy Director of PR: Sponsorship
Presenting our amazing Deputy of Sponsorships, Ishita (she/her), hailing from the one and only Mississauga, Ontario. A U3 student in the Faculty of Science majoring in Anatomy and Cell Biology, Ishita speaks English, French, and Hindi! This year, she is shifting away from the events team where she was previously a coordinator for McMUN 2025, but you can’t take the function out of her work ethic. You can find her in Virginia Beach or pioneering the founding edition go the Science Bar, aka SUS After Hours, where the “This is Drake” playlist is legitimately the only thing downloaded on the DJ’s computer. When she’s not perfecting sponsorship packages, you’ll catch her dancing, going on long walks, or climbing Mont Royal for the views. Don’t hesitate to say hi to her at McMUN!
Tiffany Jiang, Deputy Director of PR: Outreach & Administration
Don’t let the Vancouver hometown fool you—if you’re from BC, Tiffany (she/her) will tell you that she’s actually from Langley. A U3 Poli Sci student, Tiffany speaks English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and French, and as this year’s Deputy of Outreach and Admin, she’s the organizational powerhouse behind our partnerships. She’s joining the Secretariat this year after being a Registration Coordinator for SSUNS 2024, a crisis staffer for McMUN 2024, and a DRC Coordinator for McMUN 2025. Outside of MUN conferences, you’ll find her studying at Osmo Café, lurking in Redpath Cybertheque Library, or snapping film photos on long walks through the city. She’s a dedicated Canucks fan, a passionate baker, and a loyal attendee of trivia nights at Champs Bar. If you ever need café recs or someone to rant about hockey with, find Tiffany at McMUN 2026!
Pearce-Taï Thomasson, Deputy Director of PR: Multimedia
