Shazia Nazir
Deputy Secretary-General
Shazia is a second-year student at Victoria Junior College (VJC) taking the History, Economics, Literature and Mathematics subject combination. Shazia decided to venture into the world of Model United Nations (MUN) after spending four years in secondary school in the debate circuit. She chose to explore MUN after being encouraged to sign up for her first MUN in secondary three where she first stepped into the world of diplomacy, foreign affairs and draft resolutions. This experience had cemented her passion and intrigue for MUNs and when Shazia came to VJC and saw that there was a CCA dedicated to MUN, she knew she had to be part of it. When she is not busy trying to memorise all her content, she spends her time reading classic literature novels while listening to Lana Del Ray. Through Singapore Model Cabinet 2026, Shazia hopes to further dive deep into the world of current affairs and diplomacy while also honing her leadership skills to become a more critical and analytical person with the passion to solve the new challenges that we face in our ever-evolving world.
