Valentina is a second year History and Politics student at Queen Mary University of London. She is the Vice President of QMUN and a huge history nerd (hence why she’s chairing a historical committee). She loves her degree and spending money she doesn’t have. Valentina is very excited to chair a historical committee and see the ways in which delegates would change the course of history if they could.
Kamil is a first-year double degree student reading English and French Law at Queen Mary University of London and Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. His bilingual Polish-French academy brought him to win a national championship and complete his education in an international high school in France. And it is there that he fully discovered the passion that drove him towards diplomacy and indeed MUN, his first ever conference being ILYMUN in Lyon back in 2022! This experience of passion, hope, inspiration and humility in dialogue shaped his character, one of a rational optimist and relentless fighter who doesn’t give up on his dreams and grasps every opportunity life gives him. Outside of the lecture theatre, Kamil can be found mastering his Chinese, reading up on French poetry, acting or going on insanely long night-walks ;)
Noah is a third year mechanical engineering student whose MUN heydays were in high school where he won a couple awards at no-name conferences and has subsequently plateaued and even regressed at the university level (he blames it on bad chairing). He is from London.
