STUDENT OFFICERS
Raffaella
I am Raffaella Laxalde, a 17-year old student from Uruguay, and will be chairing the UNICEF committee at the 2022 LAMUN conference. My previous experiences as a chair in MUN conferences, and my experience researching as an article writer drove me to attempt participating as a chair in this year’s LAMUN conference. I would consider myself a reserved yet direct person, and pride myself in my opinions yet am open to argument and consider new perspectives. That is specifically why I enjoy chairing so much, because despite always having some opinion on topics, listening and interpreting the new positions that delegates eloquently present in debates enables me to further develop my understanding and personal take on a multiplicity of topics. Besides MUN, I have a variety of distinct interests, including gaming, cooking, playing the piano, reading, and inquiring about multiple topics in history, culture, and science. However, I am always open to new opportunities and attempting new experiences. I am eager to meet and work with the Student Officers and delegates that will be participating in the upcoming conference to ensure the best possible experience for all!
Antonella
I am Antonella Francolino, a 17-year old student from Uruguay, and I will be chairing the UNICEF committee at the 2022 LAMUN conference. My previous experiences in MUN were delightful, even though they were all virtual, therefore I am beyond excited for this in-person conference. Chairing this committee is for me an honor, and at the same time a very enjoyable task, due to the valuable information that will be discussed throughout the debate. Although I would consider myself a person with strong values, I am always willing to listen to other perspectives and exchange ideas in a respectful manner. I take joy in spending time with my loved ones and meeting new people. Besides that, I appreciate other activities such as reading, painting and photography. I am eager to meet and work with the Student Officers and delegates that will be participating in the upcoming conference to ensure the best possible experience for all!
