Julian Santori
Director of Finance, UNLV MUN
Julian joined UNLVMUN at the start of last semester and has participated in every conference trip since then, but has been doing MUN since his Junior year of high school and even got the opportunity to take part in NVMUN’s Crisis Committee in 2023. He loves MUN Crisis Committees so much that they’ve been the only types of committees he’s participated in. The intrigue and background elements make them much more challenging but just as fun. Julian is excited to see you all at NVMUN 2024!
