ORGANISED CRIME & XENOPHOBIA

Alexia Espinoza Vlad is a sophomore in the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. She is pursuing a major in International Politics, with a concentration in International Law, Institutions, and Ethics, and a minor in Justice and Peace Studies. She often goes back home to Naples, Florida to escape the brutal DC winters! Alexia has been involved in Model UN since freshman year of high school, so she’s going on 6 years of debate and diplomacy! She has competed in and staffed conferences on both the high school and collegiate circuits. Her NAIMUN journey began as the Director of the Commission on the Status of Women at NAIMUN LXI. She fell in love with the educational impact of the committee, which inspired her to apply to the NAIMUN LXII Secretariat. Her role as one of the Under-Secretaries-General of Economic and Social Councils gave her valuable experience creating rich, unique committees of substantive excellence, a mission that she will be bringing with her as the current Secretary-General of NAIMUN LXIII . Apart from NAIMUN, Alexia has also served as a chair at NAIMUN’s sister collegiate conference, NCSC, and DistrictMUN, Georgetown’s middle school conference. When she’s not working on Model UN, Alexia advises international non-profit executives with Georgetown Global Consulting, welcomes prospective students and families to Georgetown’s campus through her hilarious and relatable campus tours, and works at the Mortara Center for International Studies. In her free time, she loves to try new foods around DC, spend money she doesn’t have on various exercise classes, and sing all types of music, from opera to jazz.
