Jason How is a Sophomore at North Creek High School and is honored to be serving as assistant director for INTERPOL this year at NSDMUN’s first iteration. Jason started his MUN career in EDUMUN 2023 and found a true passion for it. After being introduced to the world of MUN, he went chest deep into it. He became the vice president for his school's mun club and grew his club from something unknown to where if a conference came up everyone would be talking about it. When Jason isn’t preparing for the next conference or writing endless amounts of essays for his single AP course, he can often be seen at the gym, doing endless piles of homework that he put off until the last minute, or simply enjoying himself with video games. Jason is ready and prepared to serve as your Assistant Director and meet delegates and make this the best MUN experience ever!
