OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

LORENZA BERNAL - senior faculty advisor

Hi! I’m Lorenza Bernal, a 22-year-old Law student with a minor in Public Policy and Finance. I’ve always believed in living life to the fullest, seeking growth through challenging experiences. And without a doubt, UNIANDES HNMUN has been the most game-changing opportunity yet.

UNIANDES HNMUN is about stepping into rooms that inspire you, embracing challenges that unlock your greatest potential, and understanding that if you’re not surrounded by people who inspire you, you’re in the wrong place. It’s about seizing every opportunity, discovering new passions, and making your college years truly unforgettable!

This is your chance to be part of a team of excellence. Dare to step into the right room and forge lifelong friendships!

 

EMILIA PAEZ - head delegate

Hi everyone! My name is Emilia Páez. I'm 20 years old and I study law with a minor in journalism.

I joined UNIANDES HNMUN last year, and I can confidently say I walked away with way more than I came for — every single time. I found my role models, my best friends, and most importantly my crew: a group of exceptional individuals who push you, with love and grit, to become the best version of yourself.

There is a before and after HNMUN. One where you walk into rooms with more confidence, face challenges with more resilience, approach conversations with more curiosity, and show up for every person with more intentionality.

This team is not just a delegation. It's built on practicing together, becoming your authentic self, carrying each other through….and the kind of victories that make all of it worth it.

So if you're looking for a sign to apply — this is it. Words won't do it justice, but I can promise you’ll end the year a different person, in the best way possible.

Apply for our 13th delegation. We hope to see you soon. 🤍

CAMILO TORRES - faculty advisor

Hello everyone! My name is Camilo Torres Casanova, and I'm a Lawyer with an emphasis on International Relations and Security. My interests include diplomacy, peacemaking, human rights, the UN and transitional justice. Out of work, I'm into indoor cycling, art history and travelling everywhere.

I joined UNIANDES HNMUN back in 2017, and for me this path has been truly transformative. Our team is a space where you are constantly pushed towards excellence, while being a safe space with your closest friends. This year, after such a long time, I'm happy to come back as Faculty Advisor. My main goal is to break previous standards and bring UNIANDES HNMUN to a whole new level. I encourage you to be part of this team of drivers, builders, and go-getters. Welcome!

 

FELIPE PIMENTEL - HEAD DELEGATE

Hello everyone! My name is Felipe Pimentel, a 21 year old Economics and Government student with a minor in Psychology. I joined UNIANDES HNMUN last year, and today I can say that its the best experience I’ve had during my time in college.

UNIANDES HNMUN, for me, is the place where I found purpose. We all spend our lives looking for meaning, for something that pushes us to grow, not just in skills, but as people. And that’s exactly what HNMUN gave me: a goal, a community, and a reason to challenge myself every day.

UNIANDES HNMUN became a place where I can be myself while striving to be better. A space where I’m surrounded by brilliant, driven people who push me forward and make me feel at home.

But more than that, HNMUN is the place that shows you what you’re truly capable of. It tests your limits and then reminds you that you're stronger, smarter, and more resilient than you think. If you’re looking for a place that will change you, then this is your sign. Apply and see where it takes you!

MICHELLE CAVELIER - FACULTY ADVISOR

Hi everyone! My name is Michelle Cavelier, and I’m a 23-year-old Economics and Government & Public Affairs student, with a minor in Law.

I joined HNMUN Uniandes in 2023, during the delegation’s 10th year—and without a doubt, it was the best decision I’ve made during my time at Los Andes. I didn’t just make friends for life, I found a family for life. This experience pushed me to grow, let go, have fun, and think outside the box in a safe and empowering space. It’s inspired me to become someone who constantly seeks to challenge herself and uplift others along the way.

I encourage you to take a leap of faith and apply to be part of our 12th delegation—an experience that might just change your life, too!

 

SANTIAGO MARIN - head delegate

Hi everyone! My name is Santiago Marín. I'm 22 years old and I'm in my final semester of law school.

I joined UNIANDES HNMUN without really knowing what I was getting myself into — and that turned out to be the best decision I've made in college. This is my third year on the team, and without a doubt, it has been my richest and most meaningful university experience.

If you're looking for the best excuse to meet incredible people — this is it. These years are packed with stories, inside jokes, and defining moments that genuinely change you. The people you meet on this team don't just make you want to stay; they make you want to keep showing up, keep growing, and keep giving your best.

UNIANDES HNMUN is the ideal space to find purpose, challenge yourself, and discover a group of people who don't just chase success alongside you — they become your family.

Apply for our 13th delegation. We hope to see you soon.
