Alena Rhoades is a first-year student in the College of Arts & Sciences majoring in English and Legal Studies. She is beyond excited to be serving as a Director of Operations for this year’s UPMUNC! Outside of UPMUNC, Alena enjoys writing for the Daily Pennsylvanian, editing for The Penn Review literary magazine, and binging many, many television shows with friends. Originally from Los Angeles, CA, she hopes that the delegates enjoy exploring Philadelphia and building new connections as a part of UPMUNC 59!
