Di Cohen
Director
Dimitra is from Athens, Greece, however the last 5 years she is living in the UK. Currently is finishing her dissertation to acquire her LLM in Human Rights at the University of Cardiff (Wales), with a focus on Health Governance and Mental Health Law.
She started MUN randomly in High School 7 years ago and she immediately fell in love with it. She has done pretty much everything in a conference: from Human Rights and WHO to Security Council and Crisis. Also, with MUN she had the chance to explore many countries: Greece, England, Germany, France, Spain and Israel! She enjoys arguing about Brexit, campaigning against antisemitism, bubble tea, making awful jokes and watching pointless shows on Netflix. She dislikes rude people and commercial music. Aside from (obviously) committee room you will probably find her either at the smoking area or searching for croissants and donuts.
This will be her first time in NottsMUN and she is very excited to serve as the Chair SOCHUM, which is one of her favourite committees. She is looking forward to meet you and have a great week learning about diplomacy and having fun in Nottingham.
Fun fact: She always wanted to have a pet raccoon but the laws regarding pets in England are an obstacle
