Júlia Knauer Carvalho

Dedicated and proactive person. I first met Julio when we were directors for the same committee for a Model United Nations. During the preparation time, when our contact was only online, Julio impressed me with his dedication, commitment to deadlines and knowledge of International Law. On the days of the event, it was a pleasure to share the workload with him, as he was always proactive to attend the group needs' and create an amazing MUN experience.
