Hello Delegates! My name is Marifer Vallarino and I’m currently a Senior at the International School of Panama. I was born in Mexico City, however, I have lived in Panama City my whole life. Aside from my academics, I love spending time with my friends and family, being outdoors, and dancing. This is my fifth PANAMUN, however my sixth MUN conference overall, and I am very excited to be your chair this year for PANAMUN XXXIII! My first ever experience in debate was in 8th grade at ISP and it was life changing! Thanks to the amazing support I got in middle school, I found a new passion for debate. Whether this is your first encounter with debate or not, it is my goal to ensure you all have an exciting and fruitful experience. I am more than happy to answer any questions or concerns that may arise during the preparation process so please do not hesitate to reach out!
