Laura vallecilla - FACULTY ADVISOR
Hey everyone! My name is Laura Vallecilla, I’m 25 years old, and I study Law and Government with a minor in Education.
I joined HNMUN back in 2022 without really knowing what it was or what to expect—and it ended up surpassing anything I could’ve imagined. This project has transformed every area of my life. It has taught me that most limits exist only in my mind, that I’m more capable than I think, and that there’s always room to go the extra mile and be excellent.
But above all, HNMUN has given me something priceless: lifelong friends and a community of people who challenge themselves every day to grow and go further.
Today I want to invite you to take the leap and dive into an experience that will truly change your life in unimaginable ways. Opportunities come when they’re meant to—and when they show up, don’t let them pass you by!
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!

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.

MICHELLE CAVELIER - head delegate
Hi everyone! My name is Michelle Cavelier, and I’m a 22-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!
