Lauren Le


Under-Secretary-General for General Assemblies

Lauren is a second-year Political Science and something-humanities-related double major originally from Huntington Beach, California. This will be her 6th year involved in MUN after competing (as a chronic GA delegate) on the high school Socal circuit and joining UCLA MUN her freshman year. After previously serving on her high school secretariat and working with students as a MUN mentor, she looks forward to overseeing and organizing debate on the other side of the high school conferences as USG of GA. She also hopes to use her experience in MUN and as a "hilltern" to purse a path in law or business after college. Outside of MUN, Lauren’s second home is the tennis courts as she is a member of Bruin Club Tennis, but coming in close second is Michael’s as Lauren loves to make jewelry, upcycle thrifted clothes, and bake Great British Baking Show worthy desserts. If not one of these two places, you can find her exploring new coffee shops, libraries, or countries around the world!
