ECOSOC

Noa Sánchez is the president of the ECOSOC committee. She is currently a junior at the American School of Valencia. Although she has lived in Valencia her whole life, she comes from a Venezuelan family. She has participated in a total of 9 conferences since 6th grade. Throughout the years since her journey in MUN began, she has stood in admin’s, delegate’s and chair’s shoes, and knows how nerve wracking MUN conferences may be. Regardless, she is more than willing to help her committee thrive through fun experiences and fruitful debates in the ECOSOC committee. 

Ximena Gallardo Álvarez is the chair of ECOSOC for VALMUN 2024. She is a freshman at the American School of Valencia. She was born in Toledo, Spain and has lived since she was 3 years old in Valencia. She started participating in Model United Nations as soon as she could, in 7th grade. Since she started participating in MUN, she has gained 7 experiences; three conferences in Valencia (VALMUN), three conferences in Madrid (MADMUN) and one in Barcelona (BCNMUN). The experience of being in MUN has really changed her perspective on debate and has made her critical thinking develop throughout each experience, it has also helped her with her ability to find solutions and create them at the moment. At her first experience, she was really nervous at the beginning, but ended up having the most improved delegate award. She has also received an honorable mention and another most improved delegate. It's her first time being a chair at VALMUN, so she’s really looking forward to an excellent experience this year.

Jorge Martorell is a chair from ecosoc. Currently he is a freshman in ASV.  He was born in Valencia and has lived in Valencia his whole life. He started MUN experiences in 7th grade, in total he did 5 MUN experiences, 3 VALMUN and 2 MADMUN. His only role in valmun has been delegate, from 5 different countries and in VALMUN 2024 it will be his first experience being a chair.  Through MUN Jorge has increased some skills like talking in public. MUN has been the key for Jorge’s fear of talking in public and he really appreciates it. Jorge is looking forward to being a chair and he is really looking forward  to experiencing this new chance they gave him.
