Hello, my name is Sofia Murillo and I am truly blessed to be this years SPMUN Under-Secretary-General. I've done more than 10 MUN's, and throughout every single one of them I have learned valuable skills and lessons that I hope this years conferences teaches you as well. In my experience, you walk into a conference thinking about how nervous you are and wondering if you will know the right thing to say, but by the end you have earned enough confidence to be able to speak freely and respect other point of view. Over the years MUN has become more than just an extracurricular activity, it has become a possible career path for me. This is why we have worked so hard to create a genuine conference that will give you all the opportunity to grow, challenge yourselves, and learn something new. I hope that when the time comes, you will allow yourselves to step outside of your comfort zones, make mistakes along the way, but most importantly enjoy every last drop of this extraordinary experience.
