As a member of the NBPS Model UN team, I’ve had the opportunity to represent different countries at conferences across the U.S., each one challenging me to think critically and speak with purpose:
Florida High School MUN (New Zealand): Advocated for stronger maternity rights and access to healthcare.
GatorMUN at the University of Florida (Chile): Focused on environmental issues like illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
NAIMUN at Georgetown University (Nicaragua): Debated topics such as forced migration and women’s rights.
Each conference deepened my interest in diplomacy and taught me that youth voices can meaningfully contribute to solving complex global issues.
