MUNUSAL
Secretariat 2021
XIII edition
Corentin Larmoire Roussel
Secretary General
Corentin is a French student from Tours, in central France. When he is not studying the French law, Spanish and English languages ​​and their legal systems, he travels and study everything he can about international law and geopolitical crises. He started on MUNs in 2014 and for 4 years has enjoyed the life of a delegate in several councils in Europe. After a dozen of MUNs as delegate, his career as president began in Berlin in August 2018.
He spent time in Cartagena as an "au-pair" for 6 months, and thus his terrible accent in Spanish was born and his passion for the Spanish language.
He likes to read, travel and listen to music, as every human. The weirdest thing about Corentin is that his dream is a "crossover" of Harry Potter and NATO, his two favorite themes.
He wants to live the experience of MUNUSAL with you for his first MUN in Spanish. Live the MUN addiction in Spain seems to him like another way to share, and to preside is to share. He waits for you all to expand the family of the MUNs.
See you in Salamanca!
Martina Bo
Deputy Secretary General
Martina is a second-year dual master student at Sciences Po in Paris and Bocconi University in Milan, pursuing a degree in European Affairs and Policy Evaluation. Class 1997, Milanese by birth but citizen of the world by adoption: she has crossed borders several times thanks to volunteering experiences in Peru and Indonesia, school exchanges in India, the USA, the UK and Spain, and an internship at the Italian Chamber of Commerce in the Dominican Republic.
Striving to recreate the international atmosphere encountered abroad and the desire to confront herself with other international relations, diplomacy-addicted individuals, she joined in 2015 MILMUN: her very own MUN Society, eventually serving as its President. Since then, she has eagerly participated as a delegate, Chair, Secretary General and Executive Committee member in numerous conferences at European level.
After a great edition in 2018, she can’t be more honoured and excited than coming back to Salamanca as Deputy Secretary General for MUNUSAL’s 2020 edition. She is looking forward to welcoming future participants to the family, seeing them debate as if there were no tomorrow (no for real, climate change is true), or dance the night away on one of Spain’s universally recognised heritages: reggaeton hits.

After graduating as a conference interpreter at the University of Leuven, Nick has started his career as a language coach and a freelance interpreter and translator.

It is her pleasure now to, at least virtually, come to Salamanca for a second time, to chair the Historical Security Council.

Outside of MUNing, Sara is a big fan of the Star Wars franchise and funny Youtube videos. She also loves listening to Arabic songs and can easily memorize the lyrics without understanding any word. She likes meeting other good natured individuals and she is excited to meet you all in MUNUSAL 2021!

Rosario Cives Losada
Editor in Chief
Rosario was born in Argentina, but she moved to Spain when she was only 3. She spent her teenage years in a small town in the region of Extremadura and she left as soon as she could to study Translation and Interpreting in her beloved Salamanca. Little did she know she was going to move again on her second year. This time she packed her bags to have an intense but wonderful Erasmus experience in the land of baguettes and croissants. Even though she still misses Lyon, she never stopped loving Salamanca and she’s ready to make everyone feel the same way.
Other than complaining about how little she sleeps and procrastinating, she likes meeting new people who have stories to tell, discovering new music and readying in any format. Although she could only participate in 2018’s conference as a journalist, she’s really looking forward to being Editor-In-Chief this year. She’ll make sure you have something to talk about during coffee breaks!
Belen Salaverry
Editor in Chief
Born and raised in Lima (Perú), Belén moved to Spain by herself at the age of 18. After some failed career attempts back home and here, she found her true calling at the University of Salamanca, where she is currently in her last year of Translation and Interpreting. Before leaving this amazing city to pursue something new, she wanted to experience the MUNUSAL phenomenon and see for herself if it is as good as they say. She is sure it will be.
​
Belén’s hobbies involve taking pictures of everyone and everything, learning how to say “cheers” in every single language and nagging people to show them how much she likes them.
She’s really looking forward to being your Editor-in-Chief, along with Rosario, and will do her best to have everyone running their mouths throughout the event.
