Secretariat

Isabella Sendas
​Secretary-General

Esteemed Delegates and Advisors, 
Welcome to BRAMUN! My name is Isabella Sendas, I am currently a senior at the British School of Rio de Janeiro and am beyond honored to serve as the Secretary-General for this year’s conference. The Leadership Team's goal for 2020 is to further this prestigious conference that embodies excellence and offers young adults an opportunity to broaden their horizons. We are dedicated to making this version of BRAMUN the most fulfilling and inspiring one yet so that you may immerse yourselves in even deeper passion for Model UN and diplomacy. Outside of the committee room you will often find me reading historical fiction books and as many newspapers as I can lay my hands on, watching Friends on Netflix and helping our community. I am also passionate about Mathematics and Chemistry, making me yet another STEM-oriented student to be lured by the wonders of the MUN world, and hope to study engineering when I finish school. As an active MUNer since 2014, this activity has taught me valuable lessons that guide me in everything I do: I must constantly challenge myself to become a more well-rounded individual and must keep in mind that the best ideas and solutions are a result of compromise and teamwork. If you have any inquiries about BRAMUN or MUN in general, do not hesitate to contact me at bramun.secgen@gmail.com! I'm all ears to your ideas and will help you in any way that I can!

Anika Kapur
Chief Operations Officer

Hello delegates, MUN directors, and conference attendees. My name is Anika Kapur, I am a current Senior at Chapel School, and I will have the honor of serving as Chief Operations Officer for the eighteenth edition of BraMUN. Over the past five years, I have attended 22 conferences and have become more and more enthralled with diplomacy and all things MUN. Whether you joined because of your fascination with politics and foreign relations or your desire to improve your public speaking skills and meet new people, I hope that BraMUN serves as a valuable experience in your high school career. At this conference specifically, I hope you leave having understood a different perspective or learned something new. Outside of MUN and the hectic IB schedule, I enjoy molecular biology, baseball, poetry, and am always looking for quality song recommendations or bad jokes. I am also quite fascinated by free soloing even though I have never actually rock-climbed. If you have any questions, concerns, ideas, or just want to converse, feel free to contact me at: bramun.coo@gmail.com. I can’t wait to meet you all this March!

Press Corps

Carolina Bartunek
Press Corps Director 

Welcome delegates! My name is Carolina Bartunek and I am a junior at St Paul's School. I am both honored and ecstatic to serve as this year’s Press Corps Director at BRAMUN. I hope that you are all as eager as I am to have the opportunity to capture the diverse, unique and distinguishing perspectives surrounding the debates and committees. For this year’s conference the Press Corps intends on serving both as the primary source of information and intel, whilst simultaneously getting directly involved in the committee debates, fostering more dynamic and innovative discussions. My passions outside the conference range from playing tennis, running and honestly binge watching The Office more than I'd be proud to admit! I am very excited to meet all of you and please feel free to contact me at cb3@stpauls.br if you have any doubts.
See you there!

​Economic and Social Council

Lara Paiva
Chair 

Hello everyone! My name is Lara Paiva and I'm a senior at Escola das Nações in Brasília. This year's BRAMUN, I'm going to have the honor to serve as BRAMUN XVIII's vice chair for the Economic and Social Council alongside Pedro and Antônio! MUN has been a huge part of my life since I first joined, and I'm super excited to be able to chair ECOSOC, which was actually my first ever committee. We hope that this conference is as life-changing for you as it was to me─ and that you bring your fire and heat into the debate! Besides MUN, I also enjoy reading all different kinds of books and watching movies and TV shows. I also love listening to music and having fun with my friends around my city, Brasília! If you have any doubts about the conference or simply just want to chat, please make sure to contact me at larapaiva02@gmail.com. Don't hesitate to ask me for help or anything else you need. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you in the conference, see you in BRAMUN!

Pedro de Marchi
Head Chair 

Hello delegates! I am Pedro de Marchi and am currently a junior at Chapel School in São Paulo. I am really excited to be serving as the head chair of ECOSOC, an amazing committee that I am really passionate about. I entered MUN back in the 8th grade just as a side activity in which I could debate some interesting topics. Now, about 3 years into MUN, it’s honestly astounding how much impact it has had on me and my life. I’ve gone to every conference I had the opportunity to and I’ve cherished all 13 of them. At this conference, my main goals will be to establish a welcoming and positive environment in the committee, creating a setting for high-caliber debate and hearty laughter. Outside of MUN, I’ll either be playing with my dog, watching movies, or playing bass. You ever want to talk about MUN, music, movies, or anything else, feel free to talk to me personally or contact me at: ​marchipedrode@gmail.com. I am excited to meet you all!

​Antônio Pedro Tavares
Chair

I am extremely passionate about MUN as I see it as an opportunity to debate and find solutions to the world around us, in a peaceful and respectful manner. MUN also further displays how fortunate the world is to have the United Nations, as most fail to record how many wars have been fought due simply to a lack of communication. Furthermore, my passion from MUN also originates from the fact I have been doing it since I was 11, and have grown  a lot as a person since then. I am a football fanatic (Flamengo fan) who probably spends too much time on Netflix and watching movies, my favorite one being No Country for Old Men. To me books and movies are fascinating as they are a reflexion of our society, and represent one’s view on it. I am also a vivid writer, as I often write my thoughts in articles and essays on global topics that interest me. Feel free to contact me via email at 2020antoniopedrotavares@britishschool.g12.br if you have any questions. ​

At this year’s conference, I will have the honor to serve as chair for the Human Rights Committee. I am very grateful to all that MUN has taught me in these past four years. Since 8th grade, I am very passionate about global politics and sociology in general and MUN has really allowed me to explore this interest by furthering my world perspective. We all have the opportunity to understand what is going on in our world and participate as active citizens through conferences like these, and so I urge you to make the most of the learning experience. If I’m not reading or trying to get all my IB work done, then I will probably be listening to my very extensive playlist on Spotify, watching movies or going outside in the sun (I love good weather)! I love to get into discussions and meet new people from different cultures or with creative ideas, so please do not hesitate to approach me and begin a conversation! If you need any help whatsoever, in regards to MUN, or schoolwork, or stress overall, you can find me at: 20marina.pimenta@eacstudents.com.br Or +55 19 99138 7554. I am beyond excited to meet all of you and really help enrich the debate of the Human Rights Committee.

When debating, I feel like the most empowered person on Earth, and I hope you all feel this way during this edition of BRAMUN. My routine would also not be the same without Blair Waldorf, and my dearest Harvey Specter. I love watching Netflix, listening to music, and hanging out at the beach with my friends.

During conferences, I always make new friends, learn more about current world conflicts and engage in solving issues diplomatically. Overall, MUN has taught me lots of skills such as respect and collaboration, which I have been applying in my daily activities. Besides MUN, I also like to read, listen to music, workout and watch series on Netlifx. I am 100% sure that BRAMUN 2020 will be an amazing conference and can already foresee great and heated sessions of debate. I am looking forward to meeting all of you at the next edition of BRAMUN.

Laura Cosendey
​Chair

Hi delegates! My name is Laura Cosendey, and I am a senior at the British School, Rio de Janeiro. I am very excited to be a part of this Leadership Team again and to serve as a Chair for the Security Council in BRAMUN XVIII. Model United Nations has captivated me since my first conference, where I represented France in the Junior Human Rights Council. My MUN experiences were essential for me to become the person who I am today. I feel incredibly grateful to be here for you, delegates! As a Chair, I truly hope that you feel comfortable and engaged in our debate — because there is so much to learn. Outside conference walls, I really enjoy spinning classes, listening to music and watching old movies. I am very sad this will be my last BRAMUN Conference. My first one was back in 2017, and this year’s will be my fourth. So, if you see me a little sentimental, I swear everything is okay! Do use all the opportunities available to you in the conference, and do not hesitate to ask me any questions via email at 2020lauracosendey@britishschool.g12.br or personally at the conference. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I will!​

I am extremely honored and thrilled to serve as the Vice-Chair of the Historical Security Council at BRAMUN XVIII. This will be my 7th MUN conference and 2nd time assuming a leadership position. MUN has taught me to challenge the manner in which we perceive the world to be, to voice my opinions and understand the complexity of what it means to be a global citizen.

My goal for this year’s conference is to be an encouraging chair, helping delegates enhance their debating skills, and overcoming their shyness.

Brazilian Constituent Assembly 

Theo Taulois
Chair 

Greetings fellow chairs and honourable delegates! My name is Theo Taulois and  I will be vice-chairing the Brazilian Constituent Assembly, together with Isabela Marantes and Gianlucca Salles. For next year's conference I expect nothing short of a great committee, mainly because what makes for a good chair group are insane ideas and of those we have plenty! However BRAMUN is not only about what happens inside committee sessions. During our free time you can find me playing football, at the swimming pool and, most likely, at the beach trying to convince my friends to play beach volleyball with me, which in my opinion is probably one of my favourite things to do at the hotel. For everyone coming to BRAMUN XVIII I wish you all the best possible experience and urge that all of you really appreciate every second of it, as I can assure that you'll miss this when it's over. This will be my last conference and this time, more than ever before, I wish you all a fruitful debate and a marvelous experience! You may contact me via Facebook or email, at 2020theotaulois@britishschool.g12.br. 

Isabela Marantes
​Head Chair 

Greetings delegates! My name is Isabela Marantes and I am currently a Junior at the Panamerican School of Porto Alegre, class 2021. It will my greatest honor to serve as head chair for the Brazilian Constituent Assembly in BRAMUN XVIII. This is my fourth BRAMUN, and second as a chair. Outside of MUN, one is likely to find me playing soccer and basketball, stressing over school work or planning some crazy project that requires way more time than I have. When I do find myself without due dates approaching, I enjoying watching every cheesy Netflix show I have the chance to and reading all Brazilian books I can find. During committee, I expect delegates to be immersed in the topics and eager to debate them tirelessly. As someone who loves the "outside the box" ideas, I look forward to having delegates just as passionate as I am. As described by many as a "social butterfly", I look forward to talking to all of you in case you have questions, concerns or just want to say "hi". Feel free to email me at: 2021imarantes@panamerican.com.br

Lina Doherty
​Chair 

Hey there delegates! My name is Lina Doherty and I am a junior at St Paul’s School in São Paulo! It is with great honour and excitement that I will be serving as the vice-chair for the Brazilian Constitutional Reform Crisis Cabinet along with Theo Taulois and Isabela Marantes. This will be my 8th MUN conference and my 2nd BRAMUN, hence I am eager to make this conference as amazing and memorable as all of my others were! I first started participating in MUN about 4 years ago, and ever since my first conference, I realized debating and expanding my knowledge on current affairs/ international relations was definitely one of my favorite activities ever! Other than MUN, you will find me involved in lots of community service projects as well as sports, such as volleyball and running. Spending endless hours watching Netflix or listening to all of the Spotify playlists ever created are also hobbies of mine. If you have any doubts or just want to chat, please do not hesitate to send me an email (ld4@stpauls.br) or message me through facebook! See you all soon!

United States Senate 

João Logemann
Chair 

Hello, delegates. My name is João Logemann, I am a Junior at the Pan American School of Porto Alegre, and I am truly delighted to be serving as the vice chair for special committee III during the XVIIIth edition of the BRAMUN conference. As my 8th conference, I am eager to meeting you all and watching you discuss pressing matters in a diplomatic style. My goal for BRAMUN is to create a diverse committee that provides delegates with a pleasant, yet challenging, experience. If a TV series were created based on my life, it would probably have entire episodes of me traveling around the globe, listening to some unexplored house music on Spotify, watching a lot of Netflix, playing sports, working my way through school (in not the most pleasant way sometimes), and, of course, constantly debating about topics such as politics or the future of artificial intelligence. I truly hope to see you all immerse and challenge yourselves while debating topics to the best of your abilities. Any doubts or simply wishing to introduce yourself, please find me at 2021jlogemann@panamerican.com.br, I'll be nice. Looking forward to the 18th edition of BRAMUN

Neil Kapur
Head Chair

Hello delegates! My name is Neil Kapur and I am currently a senior at Chapel School. I am both honored and excited to serve as the head chair of Special Committee 3. I joined MUN in 8th grade since I really like debating, especially political issues, and ever since my first conference, I have fallen in love with it. This conference will be my fourth BRAMUN conference and overall, my twenty-third MUN conference.  Outside of MUN, you can find me either participating in other clubs, such as Knowledge Bowl or STEM Club, coding, procrastinating, watching Netflix and aviation videos, searching up bad jokes and puns, and much more. In my committee, I hope to see a high level of debate and (most importantly) that all delegates have fun and enjoy defending their country’s position. If you have any questions or doubts, or if you have a good bad joke, feel free to contact me at: neilkapur146@gmail.com. I am excited to meet you all!

Laura Farhat
Chair 

Hey delegates! My name is Laura and I’m currently a junior at St. Paul’s School. This year I will have the honour and the pleasure to be serving as your vice-chairing the best committee of all time - special committee 3! This will be my second conference as a vice-chair, but my first year in the BRAMUN leadership team. I first got involved in MUN in my freshman year and, ever since, it has become one of my greatest passions. Outside school hours, you’ll most likely find me at a soccer pitch, basketball court or doing some sort of community service. I believe that MUN is a great opportunity for people to become more confident and expand their world views. As your vice-chair, I hope to make you all feel comfortable to expose your delegation’s views and to see delegates engaging in high-level debates. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at lf3@stpauls.br or just send me a Facebook message! I look forward to meeting you all, see you soon!

Interpol

Lauren Capucci
Chair 

Hey delegates! My name is Lauren Capucci, and I am thrilled to be one of the vice-chairs Interpol. Currently, I am a junior at the Pan American School of Porto Alegre, where I have been part of the MUN Team for almost 4 years. BRAMUN has always been marked on my calendar with the words “best week ever”, and I am sure that this conference it will be no different. This will be my eighth MUN conference, and I am honored to be chairing this year. When I am not drowning in school work or extracurricular activities, you can find me eating ice-cream (I am waiting for a sponsor), training for sports or with my friends eating ice-cream (seriously, a lot of ice-cream). I expect delegates to come well-researched, with enthusiasm and prepared for awkward (but fun) ice-breakers. My goal as a vice-chair this year is to make delegates have fun, while learning about new, exciting topics and, hopefully, not being scared of me! Feel free to ask me any questions or even just introduce yourself; I’d love to get to know you! My email is 2021lcapucci@panamerican.com.br. See you all soon!

Teodora Bessa
Head Chair ​

Hello, delegates! My name is Teodora Bessa and I am currently a junior at Escola Americana de Campinas (EAC). It is with great honor and appreciation that I will be chairing Interpol this year! I have participated in 7 conferences; moreover, my first MUN experience occurred in 8th grade. Since then, I completely fell in love with the purpose of MUN, making the world a better place. As a talkative person, and someone who has strong opinions about every subject, I found myself thriving in Model United Nations. When I am not debating over world issues, you can find be debating over films. Specifically, why "The Favourite" should have won this years' Oscars. Outside MUN you can also find me re-watching "Friends" for the 7th time or attempting to learn French on my own. Delegates, you can find me at 21teodora.bessa@eacstudents.com.br. Please, if you do have questions, do not hesitate to ask them. I am over the moon excited to meet you all, and I expect a wonderful and fruitful debate!

Cecília Nakao
Chair  

Hi delegates! My name is Cecília Nakao and I am currently a junior at the American School of Brasília. I will have the honour of vice-chairing Interpol and I can’t wait to witness vibrant and passionate debates in this edition of BRAMUN. My interest for MUN began in middle school and has since then only grown. It’s a club that has enabled me to meet people from all over the world, improve my public speaking skills (and nerve-wracking situations), find complex solutions while working with others and thoroughly learn about a wide variety of issues. I am very grateful to have become engaged in Model United Nations, specially seeing as it addresses issues that I am deeply passionate about and it is vastly intertwined with the career I intend to follow (international law). My hobbies include reading, playing guitar, drawing and painting, watching TV-shows (including GOT and Suits) and trying my best to successfully survive high school. I also love to travel, write, learn about new things and spend time with friends and family. I hope you guys have a great time and make remarkable memories in this year’s BRAMUN. If you have any questions, concerns or just want to talk, feel free to contact me at eab202105032@eabdf.br or social media. Can’t wait to see you in March!

1973 Joint Argentinian Political Crisis Committee

Justicialist Liberation Front 

Michelle Gusmão
​​Head Chair 

Hello delegates, my name is Michelle Gusmão and I am honored to serve as the Chair for the Justicialist Liberation Front at BRAMUN XVIII. I am currently a junior at Pan American School of Bahia, and this will be my 14th conference, 18th MUN experience, and 7th time in a leadership position. Throughout my life, MUN not only helped me grow as a global citizen but brought to my life one of the most precious aspects one can embody which is having a voice. Therefore, it is one of my greatest passions and BRAMUN is definitely one of the most memorable parts of my entire school career. Aside from my everlasting passion towards the international relations world, I am extremely interested in business, finances, and politics, especially when it involves Brazil. When not dedicating my time to MUN, you can find me playing soccer, listening to music, studying, hanging out with my friends or helping my community. As a chair, my main goal is to support my delegates at all costs and thus ensure that they learn to the utmost from every conference they participate in. I look forward to meeting passionate delegates and great negotiators who will strive to solve world issues by considering the several sides of the conflict while following their country’s position. Feel free to contact me at 21gusmaom@pasb.com.br, or by Facebook! Can’t wait to meet you all!

Sofia Amato
​Chair

Hi! I’m Sofia Amato, a Junior at Graded, and I’ll be chairing the Justicialist Liberation Front Committee at BRAMUN XVIII! I'm beyond excited to get to participate in this year’s debate through a different and more exciting lens than ever before; in my chairing of a Special Committee. Model UN took over back in my shy middle school years; and ever since I’ve looked for ways to not only further my experiences and skills, but to try and help others in doing so. Hence I truly hope that my, Michelle’s, and Rafaela’s chairing helps you all become much more confident and experienced delegates! When I’m not studying, I’m probably binging That 70’s Show (or your average Netflix series- I always accept show/movie recommendations). I love to talk, so don't’ expect anything less than a 10 minute conversation/debate if you approach me during the conference (beware of historically controversial topics). One day, I hope to attend medical school (or become a diplomat, it could go either way)- until then, MUN has taken over my life. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at gr336136@graded.br if you have any concerns or issues; i'm all ears! See you at BRAMUN
​

Radical Civic Union

Isabella Hoff
​​Chair

Hey delegates! My name is Isabella Hoff and I am currently a junior at St. Paul’s school. I am extremely excited and honoured to be Vice-Chairing the Radical Civil Union in BRAMUN XVIII. Since my first conference MUN has been a significant part of my life, enriching my knowledge, improving my skills and by making me feel empowered through the power of debate. When not in MUN, you can find me checking BBC or CNN for the latest international scandal, having heated debates with my family and friends –about literally anything, listening to music, binge watching Netflix, going to the gym or just getting with my friends to enjoy each others’ company. I hope that this BRAMUN will be the best yet, and that all of you have an amazing experience in this stirring, and should I say, conflicting committee! If you have any doubts feel free to contact me: ih1@stpauls.br See you there!

Rafaela Cimatti
​​Chair

Hi delegates! My name is Rafaela Cimatti, I’m currently a junior at St Nicholas School, in São Paulo. I am at the peak of my excitement to be chairing the first of BRAMUN’s special committees alongside Michelle Gusmão and Sofia Amato, and will work to make this year’s conference the best one so far! I am certain that you, delegates, will be able to profit immensely from BRAMUN, as it is a unique learning environment and an open gate to new experiences. Model United Nations itself is such an exceptional way to expose young minds to international politics and global affairs, which teenagers would not have contact with in the same proportions if it weren’t for MUN. That is why I am, personally, so passionate about it; it gives me the opportunity to feel I am part of something greater, empowering me to change the world as an individual. Outside of conference rooms, you can probably find me spending time out with my friends - knowing and rating restaurants at every corner of SP - or going for a run in Ibirapuera Park (to compensate for my “gastronomic adventures”). Other than that, I may be found paddle boarding whenever I am at the beach, my ever favourite place to be at. Anyways delegates, if you’d like to keep in touch before committee sessions effectively begin, please don’t think twice in contacting me via email (rcimatti@stnicholas.com.br), or look me up in any social media platform and I will happily reply to you! Looking forward to meeting you!​

BRAMUN and MUN in general, has come to define my high school years, and I hope that together with Luca and Isabella, we can make this BRAMUN special for all of you as well. MUN is an amazing educational experience, and it is my sincere hope that all of you will not only learn a lot, but have fun doing it. Aside from MUN, I spend way too much time browsing Reddit and watching YouTube, and I also really love to play Tetris, cook, and suffer at the hands of the IB. Feel free to email me at jcardoso@stnicholas.com.br if you have any questions at all about the  committee. I look forward to seeing all of you!
