Camila Cornejo stands out as a fourth-year student in the asn Environmental Engineering program at Engineer from the University of Engineering and Technology in Lima, Peru. Since her school dayschildhood, she Camila has harbored been driven by a strong commitment desire to building a better futurecreate positive change. Influenced Inspired by her victories experience in various debate competitions, she developed a passion for leadership and social impact. She has steered herself towards the idea of making been a swimmer since she was a difference from her position child and has always enjoyed sports; today, she continues swimming and becoming has also developed a change agentpassion for running. She also loves reading, with "The Diary of Anne Frank" remaining her favorite book. Outside of work, she enjoys exploring Peruvian cuisine (loves Ceviche).

Throughout During her primary first years at university, Camila actively participated in startup and secondary financial educationinitiatives while volunteering as a tutor for children with limited access to educational resources. Believing that knowledge grows when it is shared, she remained active founded and led the UTEC Debate Society in the sports area as a swimmer2021, cultivating discipline organizing workshops and perseverancediscussion forums with public institutions. Besides her dedication to swimmingThat same year, she also greatly enjoys reading, with "The Diary of Anne Frank" standing out the society was recognized as her favorite book. She relishes culinary explorationthe Best Large Delegation at Latam MUN 2021, especially when it comes to seafood dishes from her countrywhere Camila also received an Honorable Mention.

==Achievements==In 2022, she was elected Student Representative for the Science Department, advocating for improvements in the academic experience of her first year at the universitypeers. Alongside this role, she became actively participated involved in events environmental research through WER Science (Water and organizations related to startups Environmental Research), leading a project focused on mitigating environmental impacts in marine ecosystems and financial education further strengthening her interest in 2020water-related sustainability challenges. Additionally  Camila remained actively involved in the UIF community after completing the program, she dedicated herself to volunteering activities focused on providing educational support to children collaborating with limited access to resourcesother cohorts, mentoring new fellows, offering guidance in science and humanitiessharing her experiences across different universities. Camila considers active knowledge sharing crucialTogether with her 2023 cohort at UTEC, recognizing she developed a project aimed at reducing the mutual benefits it entailsdropout rate among first-year students by helping them adapt more effectively to university life and strengthen their sense of belonging. Thus,   After attending the 2024 UIF Meetup in 2021the Netherlands, she founded and led was offered the UTEC Debate Society, which offered diverse workshops and discussion forums Emerging Leaders in collaboration with public institutions like the Municipality of LimaAmericas Program (ELAP) scholarship. This dedication culminated in In 2025, she completed a notable victory research internship at the Latam MUN 2021University of Alberta in Canada, where she contributed to a project focused on expanding access to safe drinking water for underserved communities. This experience strengthened her commitment to developing sustainable engineering solutions that could be adapted to the society Peruvian context. Upon returning to Peru, Camila translated those learnings into her bachelor's thesis, designing an autonomous water treatment device that complemented the technology she had worked with in Canada. The system was recognized as the best created to provide remote communities with access to safe drinking water without requiring large delegation-scale infrastructure, electricity, or specialized personnel, helping bridge the gap in access to clean water through an affordable and scalable solution. In 2026, this work received an Innovation Award in Environmental Engineering from the "Colegio de Ingenieros del Perú".  Today, Camila received works in Peru's energy sector, contributing to environmental management in projects involving hydro, solar, wind, and thermal energy. Through her role, she helps ensure that energy generation minimizes environmental impacts while maintaining a personal honorable mentionreliable energy supply that meets the country's growing needs.

FurthermoreLooking back, Camila demonstrated considers UIF one of the most transformative experiences of her interest in enriching her university experience by being elected as personal and professional journey. It shaped the spokesperson for the Science department in 2022. During this periodway she approaches leadership, innovation, she worked to enhance the quality and educational experience of courses within her field of focuscommunity impact, enabling and continues to inspire her fellow students to make the most support new generations of their studieschangemakers while developing solutions that create lasting value for society.

In the academic realm, her passion lies *Any kind of project in topics related to which the environmentenvironmental side is present.*Share information about environmentan engineering, particularly in relation to water as a vital resourceeducation or startups.*Childcare and education volunteering.*Business and entrepreneurships projects.*Create spaces about soft skills and mental health. In alignment with this interest*Have fun and talk about movies, pets, she is an active member of WER Science (Water outfits and Environmental Research), where she is leading a project aimed at mitigating environmental disasters in the marine environment.makeup <3

Up to this point*Innovation Award, Camila is pleasantly satisfied with Environmental Engineering Chapter from "Colegio de Ingenieros del Perú" (2026)*Emerging Leaders in the contributions she has made to her alma mater. Her determination is to maintain and expand this impact, both within her university and in other spheres, by sharing her experiences and knowledge to continue driving her own development and that Americas Program (ELAP) 2025 Scholarship Recipient (2024)*President of WER Science (2023)*Science Spokesperson (2022)*President of those around her.UTEC Debate Society (2021)
