Bio

She was born in La Serena, Chile, daughter of Ximena and Arturo, and young sister of Florencia. She studied at Colegio Inglés Católico in the Coquimbo region, and at the age of 18 moved to Santiago with her sister to pursue her university studies.

She began her academic journey in 2019 studying Culinary Arts and Services Management, specializing in pastry, where she also completed internships in two renowned pastry shops. In 2023, she continued expanding her vision by pursuing a degree in Service Management at Universidad de los Andes, where she currently continues her academic training. During 2024, she was part of the Student Council of Service Management.

Her path has always combined service, leadership, and creativity. In 2019, she volunteered at Fundación Tañi, teaching pastry recipes to help its members develop tools for entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency. She describes herself as collaborative, solution-oriented, and someone who naturally steps into leadership roles within teams.

Outside of her academic and leadership experiences, Camila finds inspiration in outdoor activities such as trekking, MTB, camping, and going on walks with her dogs Nala and Pitu, as well as in creative hobbies like crochet, embroidery, painting, and cooking. She is also passionate about personal growth, often listening to audiobooks and podcasts on psychology, human behavior, and habits.
