Hello delegates! I'm Oriana Rodriguez, a Junior at the International School of Panama (ISP), and I'm thrilled to be one of your chairs for PANAMUN XXXIII in the United Nations Development Program. I was born in the United States; however, I have been raised in various countries, including Georgia, Peru, Colombia, Paraguay, and now, Panama. My passion for debate began in 9th grade while discussing women's rights in Washington, D.C and which led me to my first PANAMUN, where I participated in the United Nations Women's Committee. Since then, I have attended METMUN and will continue as a chair for this committee. Both experiences have deepened my passion for understanding people's problems, forming my views, and exchanging ideas with others who may think differently than I do. Through the MUN, I've learned to understand each person's perspective and needs more effectively and, with the help of the MUN, develop solutions tailored to them. I've learned the value of respecting others' opinions and always being diplomatic. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing volleyball, and traveling to explore new places while meeting new people. As a chair, I'm committed to creating a supportive learning experience for every delegate, ensuring a safe space for everyone's views. I look forward to meeting each delegate and hearing the debates that will take place.
