Stanford, Music, MUN, Math Rocks & Friendship! | An Interview With María Camila Giraldo

Published: Jan. 28, 2021, 10:30 a.m.

Hey there! This week I am joined by the iconic María Camila Giraldo! Firstly, I introduce her, and then, we do the tea talk! To break the ice I shoot some rapid fire questions about memories, routines, aspirations, and philosophies. We then dive into the first topic: her summer camp at Stanford, where we learn what it was like, what she learned, and her plans for the future. Next, María lets us in on her relationship with music, explaining how it fits into her life, why she’s grateful for it, and how it serves her. Afterward, we explore the world of MUN; Cami tells us how she came across it, how it’s changed her and how she applies this knowledge daily. To continue, we listen to María Camila’s testimony surrounding Math Rocks: she shares tips on standing out and describes her warm family. Then, we go deep into reflecting on her various friendships: how she’s so social, advice for shy people, her take on jealousy, and the role friends play in her life. Lastly, María asks me some questions, shares her recommendations, and lets us know where we can find her!
