Sophia
Hello, Hello, Hello… Well, my name is Sophia, but you can call me Sophie. I’m 19 years old and I’m in the Second Year of International Relations in FAAP (please don’t judge me, I promise I am cool hahahaha). I am a die hard fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race and Musicals. USPMUN is my second MUN experience as a part of the Bureau, but despite that I love MUNs! Oh and I also have a dog called Branquinha, or Little White, who's afraid of people.
Stefany
Hi! My name is Stefany aka Stefinha. I am in the First Year of Psychology in PUC ( Viva la revolution! Just kidding... Or not?). I love Game of Thrones and I hated the end with all my forces. USPMun is my first MUN experience as part of the Bureau. I am loving the experience! Also, I love and plants like cactus and flowers.
Theo
Hello, everybody! My name is Theo (just Theo, not Teodoro. There, saves you the question). I’m 18 years old and in the first year of History in USP, which I entered mostly because I’m a big history nerd and a bit obsessed with Ancient Cultures (I swear I’m a normal guy… mostly). This is my first MUN experience as part of the Bureau, so please show mercy upon this poor soul. As a side note, I really enjoy reading and even consider myself an amateur writer. And by an amateur, I mean I never finish whatever I start writing.
