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).

==Achievements==In During her first year years at the university, she Camila actively participated in events and organizations related to startups startup and financial education in 2020. Additionally, she dedicated herself to initiatives while volunteering activities focused on providing educational support to as a tutor for children with limited access to educational resources, offering guidance in science and humanities. Camila considers active Believing that knowledge sharing crucial, recognizing the mutual benefits grows when it entails. Thus, in 2021is shared, she founded and led the UTEC Debate Societyin 2021, which offered diverse organizing workshops and discussion forums in collaboration with public institutions like . That same year, the society was recognized as the Best Large Delegation at Latam MUN 2021, where Camila also received an Honorable Mention.  In 2022, she was elected Student Representative for the Municipality Science Department, advocating for improvements in the academic experience of Limaher peers. Alongside this role, she became actively involved in environmental research through WER Science (Water and Environmental Research), leading a project focused on mitigating environmental impacts in marine ecosystems and further strengthening her interest in water-related sustainability challenges. This dedication culminated   Camila remained actively involved in the UIF community after completing the program, collaborating with other cohorts, mentoring new fellows, and sharing her experiences across different universities. Together with her 2023 cohort at UTEC, she developed a project aimed at reducing the dropout rate among first-year students by helping them adapt more effectively to university life and strengthen their sense of belonging.  After attending the 2024 UIF Meetup in the Netherlands, she was offered the Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP) scholarship. 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 reliable energy supply that meets the country's growing needs.  Looking back, Camila considers UIF one of the most transformative experiences of her personal honorable mentionand professional journey.It shaped the way she approaches leadership, innovation, and community impact, and continues to inspire her to support new generations of changemakers while developing solutions that create lasting value for society. ==Contact her about==
