Meet Bella.
JAMUN'u İspanyolca konuşulan okullara yaymak ve çok dilli deneyimi birinci sınıf tutmak için Dany ile birlikte çalışıyor.
What Bella does at JAMUN.
I'm a high schooler at Deerfield High School, an immigrant from Mexico, and bilingual in Spanish and English — which means a lot of the kids JAMUN exists to reach grew up in a version of the room I once sat in. I know what it feels like to translate yourself before you speak, and I know what it feels like when someone builds a space where you don't have to.
That experience shapes how I work. Cofounding girls' varsity wrestling at my school, leading our band as president, mentoring younger students — I've spent the last few years learning what it actually takes to build a room where everyone feels welcome to participate, not just invited to. Co-leading multilingual programming at JAMUN with Dany is the same job in a bigger setting: making sure language background never decides who gets to fully show up.
Translation gets you the words. Inclusion gets you the student.
Çok Dilli Programlama Eş-Direktörü.
“Translation gets you the words. Inclusion gets you the student.”
What Bella spends time on.
The work behind the role. Four areas where most of the hours go.
Inclusive spaces
Building the in-room culture that makes a delegate from any background feel ready to participate, not just invited.
Bilingual coaching
Coaching delegates in both English and Spanish so confidence never hinges on which language a student thinks in.
Cross-cultural collaboration
Connecting delegates across countries, cultures, and perspectives — and making the resulting committees productive.
Mentorship
Pairing newer bilingual delegates with returning ones so the welcome compounds year over year.
Beyond JAMUN.
Outside JAMUN, I'm a high schooler at Deerfield High School with my sights on a career in medicine. The non-school version of my time goes mostly to hiking, cooking and baking, and community service projects in my area.
The school version has filled up with leadership — cofounding and captaining girls' varsity wrestling, leading our band as president, and stepping into senior advisor and senior-leader roles for younger students. Different rooms, same idea: make sure everyone in them knows they belong there.
