Bio

Valeria is an Industrial Engineer who graduated from the University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) in Peru. Since becoming a fellow in 2020, Valeria has played a prominent role in leading the "Design Your University Life" program, co-facilitating workshops on applied design for student life, and co-organizing the "Design Your Future" Summit. This program includes engaging workshops and panel discussions involving first-semester students.

In addition to her involvement in the "Design Your University Life" program, Valeria had the opportunity to participate in the Teaching and Learning Studio program. This program aims to explore design tools to create innovative learning experiences and enhance the participants' skills as designers, specifically addressing the challenges faced in university education.

Valeria was invited to join the organizing team for the UIF Silicon Valley Meetup 2023 and the UIF Meetup held at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, where she served as a FAB. FABs provide valuable support during the event by co-facilitating workshops and coordinating activities.
