Hello everyone! Welcome to this year’s PANAMUN XXIX! My name is Paula Roldan and I am currently a senior at the International School of Panama. I am very honored to be part of this year’s conference by being one of the Deputy Secretary Generals of Middle School next to Vinicius Da Paixao. 

 

My experience in PANAMUN started in my freshmen year when I first arrived in Panama. I have lived in Mexico, Boston, Peru, Colombia, and Panama. Although I have lived all over the world, I consider myself Colombian. Apart from MUN, I enjoy playing soccer, playing tennis, and traveling. 

 

After attending my first PANAMUN conference, I found another passion. Since then, my love for debate has grown immensely due to the voice it allows you to have. I have always been the type of person that fights for what I believe in, which is one of the things I love to do the most. These last few years of gaining experience have taught me the importance of standing up for what you believe is right and PANAMUN allows you to fight for hope, which is the whole beauty of it. 

 

I am more than excited to work alongside the Secretariat team to make sure that this conference is the best it can be! I am sure that this year’s conference will exceed your expectations and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do! Do not hesitate to contact me if or any other of the Secretariat members if you have any questions! Hope to see you in October!
