“I wouldn't be at Syracuse if it weren’t for my scholarships.”
Describe your Syracuse experience in a couple of sentences.
My Syracuse experience has been truly amazing. Since the day I stepped foot on campus, I felt so welcomed and accepted. When I compare myself to the Camila of 2023, I see a completely different woman, obviously in the best way ever. Syracuse is truly the best place on earth!
How is Newhouse preparing you for your future career?
Newhouse prepares you for the real world, and I have friends who already graduated and are doing amazing things, and I know that’s thanks to Newhouse. Also, the “Newhouse Mafia,” also known as the Newhouse alumni network, means that everywhere you go there is someone from Newhouse willing to help you and that is something that not all schools have.
Have you performed any internships and how has that impacted you?
This past spring, I interned with the Syracuse University Athletic Department. While at SUAC, I assisted with press conferences, provided accurate statistics in live games and organized/updated lacrosse player profiles. It was an amazing opportunity, where I got to experience and learn new things within the sports and communications field.
How has donor generosity impacted your time at Syracuse?
I wouldn't be at Syracuse if it weren’t for my scholarships. That's something I worked for myself in high school with all the hard work inside and outside the classroom and it's something for which I will always be grateful!
What does it mean to you to be Orange?
Being Orange means so much to me. Since I first stepped foot in Syracuse and left this past May for summer, I have turned into a whole different person, and I have grown so much professionally and personally. I left my comfort zone and have met wonderful people. I have never been so happy in a place that is not my home, Puerto Rico, which means that Syracuse is my other home. I can’t wait for all the opportunities and experiences that these next three years will bring. I will forever bleed Orange!
