Yuri Dashko
Co-Director of Finance
Hi everyone and welcome to WorldMUN 2012!
My name is Yuri Dashko and I will be serving as the Co-Director of Finance for this year’s conference. I am of Ukrainian and Irish decent, although a lot of people mistake me for Japanese because of my first name and my affinity for sushi (usually all-you–can-eat). I am a fourth year student at UBC’s Sauder School of Business where I am specializing in Finance. This is my first Model United Nations experience and I am excited to work as the Co-Director of Finance for the Host Committee of 21st WorldMUN Conference! It is amazing to have the chance to be part of an event that brings people together from all over the world and I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to network and learn from peers who come from around the world.
I was a part of the varsity track and field team at UBC for two years and the University of Toronto rowing team in 2007. I watch pretty much every major sport with a couple of exceptions and can probably talk football, basketball, hockey, and baseball with the best of them. I am also pretty involved in the film/television industry and have interned for both a talent agency and film production company in Vancouver.
I look forward to seeing you all at WorldMUN 2012!
Cheers,
Yuri Dashko
