Hello everyone!

My name is Finley Steinbeck and I have the incredible honor of being one of the Middle School Deputy Secretary Generals for PANAMUN XXXIII. Currently I'm a junior in ISP, and I have been part of the ISP community since pre-kinder. Fifth grade is when my debate journey truly kicked off, and now PANAMUN XXXIII will be my 8th conference! PANAMUN has truly been a life changing experience that has served me and shaped me in so many different ways. Above all PANAMUN has given me a place to be a leader with a voice and has done the same for many others!

I have been raised in Panama for the past 12 years, though I'm Colombian American. Outside of PANAMUN and debating I love hanging out with friends, listening to music, riding horses and writing!

Ultimately, beyond all the debating and resolutions, PANAMUN has been a space where I have grown as a leader, built lasting friendships and pushed myself to think critically about global issues. Whether it's the excitement of a criss, the challenge of giving a powerful speech, or the late-night research sessions, every conference has shaped me into a more skillful person. While stepping into the role of Middle School Deputy Secretary general, I want to help delegates find their voice, step out of their comfort zones, and experience the same excitement and growth PANAMUN has given me,

I hope you all are looking forward to PANAMUN XXXIII as it truly is a transformative experience!
