Session Director 
Daniel Ortega

Daniel Ortega is 21 years old and a student of political science and public law in his sixth semester. Having felt the (sometimes quite annoying) need to debate everything on a scale as grand as possible from childhood onwards, he quickly fell in love with MUN after enrolling in the University of Heidelberg.
Freshly back from a semester abroad in Israel and a veteran member of the Heidelberg MUN Society, he now looks forward to creating interesting, interactive and in-depth session scenarios for all those interested. Contact him at ortega@hdmun.org if you have any topic suggestions for our weekly debate.

Finance Director
Kristina Pape

Kristina is the newest member to the MUN Society Heidelberg in the Executive Board. She is in her second year studying Political Science and Religious Studies and quickly realized that the society is perfect for her since she loves (diplomatic) discussions. As a person, who notes down every cent she spends, and likes to count money for relaxation, she had to be the new Finance Director. She will keep our society liquid and have an eye on all costs. Kristina will manage our bank account, try to reduce costs wherever possible and be the responsible voice when other members are planning to spend the equivalent to Moldovia's GDP for the next conference.
In her free time, she likes to dance ballet, Salsa and through the bars of Heidelberg. To finance her student life, she works part time as a waitress and spends the tips on traveling and food -preferably sushi or the famous german “Brathering”.
