miranda xiong
Miranda Xiong is a member of the Georgetown College of Arts and Sciences Class of 2025, double majoring in classics and history (with a Middle East/North Africa regional concentration) and a math minor. She was born and raised in the D.C./Maryland/Northern Virginia area—having lived in all 3 states—so it only felt natural for her to join DistrictMUN as its Director General and give back to her community! Besides competing with Georgetown Model UN as a member of its Conferences Staff, she has previously served as the Under-Secretary-General of the National Security Apparatus (NSA) at NAIMUN LX, and the Secretary-General of NCSC LI, Georgetown’s collegiate MUN conference. In her free time, you can catch her riding as an EMT with Georgetown Emergency Response Medical Service (GERMS), taking pictures of literally anyone and anything with her trusty ole Canon, or watching NCAA women's volleyball with the attitude of an English football fan (her favorite team is Purdue!). Miranda is extremely excited to work on DistrictMUN’s extremely impactful programming for the 2023-2024 year!
