My name is Nathalia Ruiz, and I am currently a junior at the International School of Panama. I am very excited to be part of PANAMUN XXXII this year as a moderator in The United Nations Children´s Fund. I am from Panama and have been at ISP since fifth grade. My first PANAMUN was in eighth grade, and I decided to attend because I wanted to try something new, like debate. From that moment on, I developed a passion for debating and participated in 5 more conferences.PANAMUN became so important to me because it helped me improve my confidence and ability to speak in front of an audience. It also gave me the opportunity to research and engage in topics I´m interested in while meeting people from different places. Apart from PANAMUN, I love listening to music, and painting, and I´ve been a dancer for most of my life. I look forward to meeting all of you, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions before or during the conference!
