As a legislative assistant to Senator Bernie Sanders, she worked on key elements of the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest climate investment in U.S. history. Camila co-founded Our Climate, a national youth advocacy nonprofit, and led the campaign to pass 100% renewable electricity in the District of Columbia. At Whitman she was a student activist, ‘08 Westie, and Environmental Humanities major. After graduation, Camila served in the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution; led outreach for a regional land use planning process in Arizona; and spearheaded public engagement for a musical about fossil fuels.
