My name is Tara Preston, and I am honored to be serving in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Since starting Model UN during my sophomore year, I have gained valuable experience as a delegate at TCMUN 2024, TCMUN 2025, and MITMUNC 2026. While I am new to the ICJ, I am incredibly eager to explore its unique legal structure and engage with the complex topics we have prepared for this year. I stay quite busy with extracurriculars, including Speech and Debate, SPARK, and founding a Mock Trial team this year, all of which fuel my passions for language, literature, and government. In my downtime, I enjoy reading, writing, painting, and tackling the daily crossword. A fun fact about me is that I am named after the White Tara, the goddess of wisdom! I am so excited to meet everyone and collaborate with you all to make this a fantastic conference.
