Meet the Secretariat

Natália Portela

Secretary General

Hello delegates! My name is Natália Portela and I am a junior studying at the Pan American School of Bahia (PASB). I am beyond grateful to be able to serve as this year's conference Secretary General. I have never ceased to be amazed by Model United Nations since I started actively participating, starting my delegate career in sixth grade. Throughout the years, conferences have always taught me so much about diplomacy, respect to the law and the power of communication! Although I have always loved the Human Rights Council, my love for reading has also awoken my fascination for Special Committees, where so much can happen at once! It is amazing to have the opportunity to organize this conference and see the love so many people have for MUN. The purpose of this conference is to allow delegates to find their passions, make friendships, and shine on the most unique topics! In order to accomplish that we have a dedicated leadership team that is always happy to answer any questions you may have. Outside of MUN, I like to play volleyball, spend time with my friends and broaden my horizons by having living different experiences. If you wish to talk, no matter what about, please don't hesitate to contact me at 24portelan@pasb.com.br. Finally, I wish everyone a wonderful experience and don’t hesitate to use your voice to make a change in the world!
