She is currently studying Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at La Salle Universitat Ramon Llull in Barcelona, where she has built her path at the intersection of service, leadership, and conviction. Inspired from a young age by humanitarian work and by the desire to improve the lives of others, she has remained deeply committed to service through both volunteering and student leadership. Her connection to Model United Nations began in third grade, and over the years she has served as delegate, chair, and Deputy Secretary-General, experiences that shaped much of her intellectual, personal, and leadership development, teaching her early that institutions matter, but the people who shape them matter more. Today, she also serves as class delegate, Head Delegate for her university’s National Model United Nations course, and President and co-founder of a student association dedicated to dialogue, intellectual exchange, and the building of a thoughtful community.
