After almost a year of terror in the lives of the Baudelaires, failed machinations by Count Olaf, and countless Very Fatal Disasters, a trial is finally going to be executed in the Last Safe Place, the Hotel Denouement. It is now the role of these volunteers, fire-fighters, and fire starters, to decide what exactly Count Olaf’s and the Baudelaire orphans’ fate should be. The very actions and decisions made in this committee will hereafter determine Various Future Decisions regarding VFD’s existence. As the committee will follow the TV show you all are highly encouraged to at the very least watch the Series of Unfortunate Events Television show prior to the committee, though reading the physical books also serve you all very well.
About the Chairs
Lena Paull, 12th Grade
Hi everyone! My name is Lena and I am thrilled to be your Crisis Director for A Series of Unfortunate Events! I have been with the Model UN team since eighth grade and was in the first ever MasMUNC committee. Outside of MUN I am a part of my school's varsity lacrosse and volleyball team, along with our literary magazine: Panache. I grew up reading A Series of Unfortunate Events, and once the TV show was created I feverishly watched every episode and season as they were released. I cannot wait to see all of your creative ideas and plans for this committee and I wish you all good luck!
Caroline Miller, 12th Grade
Hi! My name is Caroline Miller. I will be a senior for the 2026-2027 school year. I play varsity soccer and lacrosse and I love helping other people through school initiatives and my small-scale baking social enterprise. I have been a part of the MUN community since the beginning of my sophomore year and I am so excited for what my final year in the Masters MUN community will bring. I am very friendly and I look forward to meeting you all!
Arthur Burkhardt, 11th Grade, (He/Him)
Hello, I am Arthur. I am excited to support the crisis committee for A Series of Unfortunate Events. I enjoy fast-paced problem solving, debate, and working with others under pressure, which made crisis committees especially interesting to me. Outside of school, I play both basketball and soccer, and I have learned teamwork, communication, and leadership. I am also interested in history, international politics, economics, and storytelling, especially topics involving conflict and diplomacy. In my free time, I like following sports, the latest house music drops, and watching documentaries. I hope to help delegates create a fun, creative, and challenging committee experience while also gaining more experience in Model UN myself.
